Same car as the one in the protagonist's driveway, seen in the reveal trailer. You can tell by the four doors, the roofline and the fins. A yellow example can also be seen at the Red Rocket fueling station as the protag first meets Dogmeat. As such it's definitely in the game as an actual model. In this trailer it appears to have a front fascia similar to the Corvega, and they might be closely related.

The grille shape is vaugely similar to certain Chrysler models from 1967–1960, like the Chrysler 300. The rest of the car is difficult to pin down, as it is a 21st century evolution of 50's aesthetics. The fins remind me of the 1958 Oldsmobiles however.

You're right. Especially the panel parts and the tailfins. Overall proportions are also similar:

Agreed.
BTW, the front axle seems to be not lowered, but deattached.

Not sure why an earlier comment about this possibly being a Dymaxion was removed - it's a damn good suggestion!

I removed it myself, because I noticed that Bethesda reused City-Liner model from F3.
City-Liner has some design elements from Dymaxion, GM Old Look and New Look, but overall it's definitely MFG:

A concept art shows a group of 1955 Ghia Gilda's, which have a similar shape to this. However, I believe the finished product has a lot in common with the Ford Nucleon.

This is probably not a concept, but one of many promotional streamliner trucks created in the 1930's. There's an interesting article on these, here: www.cardesignnews.com/articles/design-essay/2015/04/stylish-classic-trucks-where-have-all-the-futurists-gone-by-peter-stevens/

Although I couldn't find an exact match after a quick search, this truck advertising Miller beer has very similar proportions (unfortunately, I couldn't find a make/model): blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/beertrucks_02_resized.jpg

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?

To be precise, Jelcz buses were made on licence. True origin is czechoslovakian Škoda 706 RTO, which was made in more variants.

I noticed that the front wheel is quite far from the front (if you can't see it - it's near the lamp post), just like the Nucleon.
Here's the pic of an final model. It seems that Nucleon lost its fins during development and thus looks more like the car we are identifying:

I will still wait for the better screenshots, but at this moment it looks like it is Ford Nucleon with some hints of GM Firebird II (air intakes) and Ford X-2000/Cadillac Cyclone (bubbletop roof).

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.

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.
