If memory serves me right they were in a band called Milkwood that didn`t have too much in common with the Cars sound. It was the early influence of David Robinson ex Modern Lovers who was an influence image wise on the band that steered them into what would become new-wave.
Milkwood had a more folk sound, it seems like.
I think the Modern Lovers only ever released one album, plus some live stuff, but only after they broke up in 1974. Their sound definitely influenced the Cars, just listen to this:

Modern Lovers definitely were a big influence, the whole sound of that song is very early Cars and even has a clapping sound that featured heavily "On My Best Friends Girl"
