In the links.def, where you have this:
'Contact Name' => [6, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', ''],
the red '1' is making it a required field. Setting it to '0' will make it not required, so that field can be left empty. I have a site that does not use Contact Name or Contact E-mail; the only standard fields in use are ID, Title, URL, Category, Description, and Date.
The program is VERY flexible, you just have to figure what changes to make. Any you're right, most of the answers are here, already. Now where was that post...?
Anyway, you can go ahead and use the Contact E-mail for your first line, and avoid the redundancy. Also, you can create the specific fields you need, and name them what you want (Location...). Search for "Adding Fields for Dummies" for an excellent how-to.

After visiting your site: if you're going to have fields that will always have a few certain entires (model, year), you could present that in a drop-down select list.
