That doesn't look like a '77 to me. It looks a fair bit more like a 1969 - 1971 Continental Mark III converted into a limousine.

Well... I just got done typing out an answer to this question only to realize that the person that asked it isn't around anymore I guess? Well, just in case anyone else was wondering...

This car (or rather, what's left of it) is located near a Cluckin' Bell in Cerveza Heights, Dukes. It's sitting on the sidewalk in between two east-west roads stemming off of Dukes Boulevard: Huntington Street and Thornton Street.

As you can see, they've added a side scoop, did up the rear a bit and made it look a bit like a 964,


The updated rear looks like it was taken straight from a Chevy Monza Spyder.

Judging from the headlights, taillights, thin c-pillar and front wheel drive layout, I definitely agree with the notion that this limo is based on a sixth generation Sedan DeVille. 1987 - 1988 specifically due to the wraparound taillights. It certainly doesn't look like a Town Car to me.

I'm convinced this is a Scout. I mean, just compare the two.

In terms of design cues taken from the Bronco, the Aspen has a similar line that emerges from the bottom of the bodywork, just in front of the rear wheels, that runs straight to the back of the vehicle after cresting the wheel wells... and that's about it. I guess the gas cap is in the same place. You could also probably say the taillights are more like the Bronco's than the Scout's, but that's a bit of a stretch.

For the most part, I'd definitely say that this is a Scout. The overall shape of the body is pretty much the same. The grille and headlights are located within a concave indentation in the front end, which both the Scout and Bronco have, but the one on the Aspen is somewhat narrow, round and wraps neatly around the headlights, which is more similar to the Scout's front end. The Aspen has the same front turn signals which are located beneath the headlights instead of alongside the headlights like the Bronco's turn signals. The rear windows on the bed cap have the same rounded edges. It even shares the same subtle curve on the top rear edge of the doors.

I wouldn't even think about taking a beautifully elegant car like this to a demo derby. Waste of a lovely classic. Besides, it'd be too easy of a win. :P

That aside, I believe this is a 1964 Imperial LeBaron and not a Crown like it's currently listed as. The giveaway being the rear window. The Crowns were the entry-level Imperials and they had a large rear window that covered pretty much the entire backside of the greenhouse. The LeBarons, on the other hand, were the more upscale models and had a slightly smaller rear window that gave them a more formal, limousine-like appearance. The odd exception to this rule is the 2 door Crown Coupe, which has the LeBaron's rear window for whatever reason. Anyway, the Majesty clearly has the smaller window, so I'd say it looks a bit more like the LeBaron than the Crown.

If this is a Continental, it'd have to be a 1974 - 1976 model. This car features a coke bottle curve at the back of the rear doors that juts abruptly upwards toward the c-pillar. This was introduced on the 1972 models, whereas the 1970 and 1971 models had a more gradual sloping curve that started at the middle of the rear doors.

Comparison:
1970

1972
s3.amazonaws.com/photos.ecarlist.com/pp/fl/1j/2e/rk/bp/d2/tM/xa/11/BQ_800.jpg

This car also features 5-MPH bumpers front and rear, indicating it must be a 1974 model at the oldest, as that's when Continentals (and most American cars in general) first had those type of bumpers front and rear. However, it can't be newer than 1976 as this car has a rather wide space for the grille. The 1977-1979 Continentals had the narrower Rolls-Royce style grille that was featured on their Continental Mark Series cars.

Alternatively, this car may not even be a Lincoln at all. Judging from the lack of the subtle rear fins the Lincolns had, combined with the round wheel arches and the lack of fender skirts, this might be based on a "lesser" car. Something like an entry-level / mid-range sort of thing. I'm thinking a 1973 or 1974 Mercury Monterey. (Apparently one of the few cars that had a rear 5-MPH bumper by 1973).

I'm aware that the rest of the car is completely different from the Jensen. I wasn't implying the 541 was the primary basis for the car. I was just saying the front end in particular is nearly identical.

Generally speaking, the Opus appears to be a combination of various 1960s sports cars. From the Jensen's front end, the Austin-Healey's two-tone paint scheme, the AC Cobra's coke bottle design, etc. The Cobra's front end is also pretty similar to this car's front, but I still think the Jensen is a bit closer when you consider the front bumper's design as well as the size and shape of the grille. With that being said, it's a bit difficult to say what car specifically the Opus is based on, but I have a feeling the Cobra is probably the closest we'll get.

I'm sorry, but I'm convinced that the whole front end of this car was directly lifted from the Jensen 541. The only real difference being that they replaced the Jensen's "grille flap" with a proper grille.

The grille on this car has a pointy, angular shape like the ones on old Rolls-Royce models, whereas the grilles on Bentley's cars were more curved at the top. Plus, the hood ornament looks to be modeled after the Spirit of Ecstasy. I'd say it's a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud.

Definitely a '59 Chevrolet of some sort. Not sure why it's listed as a '64 Cadillac DeVille.

In regards to the comment above, this car doesn't appear to take direct influence from any one of those three models in particular, considering the little glance of the body side trim that is just visible on the open door in this image. There's one thin trim piece going directly horizontal, and a thicker trim piece beneath it angled slightly downward. It also seems to feature multi-tone paintwork like a lot of late 1950s American cars, judging by what appears to be black paint between the two aforementioned trim pieces. Unless I'm seeing this incorrectly, it doesn't really accurately represent the Bel Air, Biscayne, or Impala specifically in that regard.
One thing's for sure, we can definitely rule out the Biscayne, as the Biscayne's body side trim only goes about halfway down the sides of its body (whereas the trim of the vehicle featured here likely continues further on down its body considering the shape of what's visible on the door). Also worth noting is that the Bel Air and Impala both have a little strip of paint within their side trim that's usually a different color than the primary one. The Bel Air's inner paint strip runs the full length of its trim. The Impala's inner paint strip takes up the rear third of its trim. So, I guess the Bel Air is the closest match?

Personally, I'd say this is a 1941 model instead of a 1947, considering the shape of the upper portion of the grille as well as the little turn signals beneath the headlights.

www.conceptcarz.com/images/Cadillac/41-Cadillac-S75-Fisher-DV-10-MB_01.jpg

Thinking about it now, the front end of the 1941 Cadillac seems to be similar to the front end of the Jefferson Provincial. On top of that, the 1942 Lincoln Continental (that the Provincial is based on) has a slightly bulgy lower section of its front end, just above the front bumper, much like this Lassiter limo.

Hmm... I'd say this car looks more like a Mark IV than a Mark VI. 1974 - 1976 model.

- It has a long, low-slung '70s shape; Less upright than the Mark VI.
- The bottoms of the rear-quarter windows curve upwards toward the C-pillars.
- The doors appear to have a somewhat round shape. They're less "square" than those of an '80s car.
- Looking at the rear half of this car, it appears to have round, coke bottle flanks, popular in the '60s and '70s. Quite different to the straight-edge lines of the Mk. VI.
- I've had a quick browse through Google images, and I can't find a Mark VI with body side trim moldings like the ones featured on this car. The trim pieces of the Mark IV however, are very similar.

I agree that it looks pretty similar to a 1970s Lincoln Continental for the most part. However, those are some rather large bumpers for 1971. This style of bumper, with black rubber strips no less, makes this hearse look like a post-1973 automobile. Yes, these bumpers were introduced in 1973, but it wasn't until 1974 that it was required to have both front and rear bumpers of this kind. Click the link below for details.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_(car)#United_States

The grille shows that it can't be any newer than 1976, as the '77 through '79 models had upright Rolls-Royce inspired grilles which were used on the Mark series Continentals. I'd say it's a 1974 - 1976.

The generic, boxy design combined with the missing front fascia doesn't give a whole lot away. However, those fender-mounted mirrors coupled with the setting of the image makes me think GAZ-24 Volga.

I've always loved this car. It's a nice, old sedan that's pleasantly vanilla and unoffensive to looks at. The name is a bit of an enigma, though... Willard Willard. I have, however, developed a theory regarding this car's redundant name.
So, the Willard company was first introduced in GTA: San Andreas. One of the earlier known car companies in GTA since it wasn't until GTA IV that every vehicle was assigned a manufacturer. The evidence of the company exists on a billboard in Rodeo, Los Santos, advertising the Elegant, a car based on the Buick Roadmaster. On the billboard, the car was shown to be manufactured by Willard, establishing the company's likeness to Buick.
Also present in GTA: San Andreas was a car called the Willard (based on the Dodge Dynasty), which obviously shares the same name as the largely Buick-based company mentioned above. I believe that the Willard car in SA would not have been manufactured by the Willard company, being based on a Dodge and whatnot (although Willard does make a couple of cars based on Ford products in GTA IV but shhhh). If all cars had been assigned to companies in SA, the Willard would've likely been made by Bravado or maybe Schyster.
The point that I'm trying to make is that I believe the Willard car and the Willard company in SA are entirely unrelated, and share the same name due to developer oversight. I think that at some point after GTA:SA was released, Rockstar noticed that these two otherwise unrelated entities shared the same name. Perhaps they decided to lampoon their little mistake in GTA IV by taking the Willard car, altering its styling to make it look more Buick-like, but still keeping its boxy, mid-sized 1980s design so it would still be recognizable as a Willard, and giving it to the Willard brand for kicks and giggles.
I could be wrong but it's just a theory. :think:
