The same car is in Head On. I provided good shots.

Actually there are 3 things that lead towards Auburn.

1. The Auburn has a metal front bumper like the Pimpster.
2. I think the Meteor only came in yellow. The Auburn came in black like this car.
3. The Auburn is much more known than the Meteor, So devs probably based it from Auburn


1. The rear is literally a Mormon. Clearly.

2. This car is also avaible in red, black and red, and yellow (as shown.)

3. The Mormon Meteor is a Dusenberg, which is also a well known marque.

4. Exhaust goes down one side of the car, which indicates this is NOT a V8 like the Auburn, but rather a "straight-eight" like the Dusenberg-Mormon.

Here's a Meteor with added headlights and front bumper:

Profile shots of a Pimpster modded into GTA: San Andreas compared to the Mormon Meteor: Notice the swooping bodywork around the passenger compartment, the tiny doors and the exhaust pipe. (Also worth noting is that the Pimpster and Meteor feature traditional front-hinged doors, whereas the Auburn features rear-hinged "suicide" doors. (And yes, I'm aware that some Meteors don't appear to have doors at all.))

While the bumpers, lights and other fixtures like that appear to mimic the Auburn, the overall shape of the body looks more like the Meteor to me.
- Look at how far the bodywork alongside the cabin swoops down, which is very reminiscent of the Meteor.
- The Pimpster and Meteor both feature an exhaust pipe that runs along the right side of the car, ending just above the back right fender.
- The front fenders of the Auburn flow smoothly down to the bumper, whereas the Pimpster and Meteor's front fenders abruptly change angle, slightly wrapping around the front wheels, and go straight downward.
- I'm just noticing this now, look at how the turn signals of the Pimpster protrude out of the chrome trim on the front fenders, which looks to be directly inspired from the Meteor. The Auburn on the other hand, lacks trim pieces and turn signals on its front fenders.
There are probably more things I'm missing, but I'm just throwing my observations out there.

No that's an Auburn. See?


It's either one, if you ask me.

We need better screenshots to determine if it's a Mormon or a Auburn.

Auburn Speedster? I don't know, looks more like a Mormon Meteor to me. The developers probably just added extra lights, bumpers and a funky grille design to make it look a bit more like a generic '30s car.
