I went on the internet today and found this:

Now, that is REAL close. Seriously, you just can't get any closer than that.
I tried to find more info on this photo, but with no success. Maybe some ex GM employee will know.

Anyway, how it should be listed?
"1949 Cadillac" or "1949 Cadillac Concept" or what?

Actually the real name for this model is 1948 gm corsair

I found somewere else that this was 1946 vision of 1960s Cadillac

Too bad we know almost nothing about it, not even the name of the concept.
That scale model was either destroyed or hidden in some GM's secret warehouse.

We can all agree to list it temporarily as Tatra unknown

Tatra 87?

For me it is Tatra 603, because it quite fits for 50s style cars.


I would opt for Tatra 600 (the front of the car is the most similar to the one in the picture). It is basically what would Tatra look like if it had a bubbletop roof


Even if this car will get labeled as MFG, there is clear influence of Tatras in overall shape.

Yeah, that's the one.
It may be nuclear, but the red bubbletop car looks like gas turbine powered vehicle (air intakes similar to GM Firebird II), so I wouldn't be so sure.


It might very well be. According to lore*, nuclear vehicles were not that common before the war,
because a short time after they came to market, most car manufacturing plants were ordered to produce military ordance.

*Though, it's quite unclear what's canon and not, especially the stuff which never made it into a game, like a lot from the Fallout Bible.
I mean, is it canon that the freeways out of Denver were clogged with cars as the people trying to escape the New Plague and a burning city in riots ran out of gas, trapping everyone behind them?
According to the Van Buren Design Documents, this happened right before the bombs fell, meaning that alternatively fueled cars were really not that common. Guess we'll have to wait until we can inspect it in person.

Somewhat similar to the McQuay-Norris Streamliner.
Though it has the typical 50's future concept bubble-top, and is probably nuclear.

It reminds me of some 30s/40s streamliner, that I saw in the internet some time ago, but unfortunately I can't remember its name.
