I'm not sure how it started. I suspect it was something electrical, though there's no way of knowing for sure. I did notice a little smoke coming from under the hood when I got out of the car, but figured it was just some oil burning off the manifold from when I put a little in it a few days before. I thought it was odd and figured the oil would have burned off already by then, but didn't give it a whole lot of thought.

Turns out I was right.  It was odd.

While I was out taking pictures at a political rally, an announcement came
over the public address system saying, "If there's an owner of a red
Plymouth here, your car is on fire."  It instantly occurred to me that
"owner of a red Plymouth" is a pretty accurate description of me.  Lo and
behold ...

Wow. I'm sorry for your loss. If your insurance won't cover it because
they say it was a mechanical defect, I would suggest seeking
compensation from the manufacturer.  If you have a local TV station
that has a consumer-protection segment, you could try to get them
involved. I'm sure they would appreciate your nice clear photographs
of the incident.
