I guess it's Made For Game, being a stylized illustration. The closest real life inspiration is probably the 1959 Buick Electra.
Cadillac Eldorado Brougham

Fallout 4 (2015)
The Art of Fallout 4 States the following of this car: "The large sedan seen here returns from Fallout 3 [...]" Also: "Sedan: A reimagining of the classic two-door Corvega from Fallout 3." Though the car takes design cues from previous Fallout vehicles, most notably the front and sides, the real life inspiration for the rear end is definitely the 1951 Buick XP-300, as suggested by kalu.

It could be standard one and it could be modified to SS in new mod garage. Proably not evrybody like it, so that would be more fair.

True. Though IIRC all Voodos were S.S. Limited Editions in IV and DLC. There's a certain irony in that.

Wow does everyone on here pirate games? O.o


IIRC,in a lot of Latin American countries video games are crazy expensive, leading to bootleg games making up the predominant part of the market. The video game web show Extra Credits did an episode on it. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnOjSL2RLwA)

On topic: I hope the Voodoo is the S.S. Limited Edition, and that it comes with the heart shaped emblems.

Cadillac Eldorado Brougham

Fallout 4 (2015)
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.

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.
GM Corsair

Fallout 4 (2015)
Somewhat similar to the McQuay-Norris Streamliner.
Though it has the typical 50's future concept bubble-top, and is probably nuclear.

Zender Straight 8

Just Cause 2 (2010)
Trivia: Has a Civadier logo up front.
Looks related to the 999 too, so it could be a case of rebranding late in developement.
Noticed this recently as I dusted off the game in anticipation of Just Cause 3.
N2A Motors 789

Just Cause 2 (2010)
I know I'm pretty late here for a game that came out in 2010, but still this reminds me a lot of the Chevy 789.
Built on the Corvette platform with the front of a '57 Chevy, sides of a '58 and the rear of a '59.
Considering the proportions of the vehicle and the mix of anachronistic styling elements, this one struck me as the closest real-world alternative.
