But isn't (hypothetical) info:us-vin:123189071239871 (VIN is "Vehicle ID
Number) more useful to refer to the car itself?

If you define a 1:1 mapping into an HTTP document, then you're implying
that there can only be one document about a car.

Why not just use the info URI-space, and if you need to map documents to
it, use and RDF vocabulary:

   <http://foo/bar/car> x:isAbout <info:us-vin:123189071239871>

That way you have an M:N mapping, not 1:1.
