As a few others have said above, this car should probably be listed as a 1978 model instead of a 1977. The '77 models featured wraparound taillights which were unique for that year (until they later reappeared on some of the FWD Caddies in the mid-to-late '80s). These lights only occupied the upper halves of the car's rear corners, with the far left and right edges of the rear bumper taking up the lower halves.



Whereas the '78, '79 and later models featured the more iconic, familiar looking, vertical taillight design often associated with Cadillac.



The Emperor's taillights clearly resemble those of the 1978 (and later) models.

Yes, 1978-79. 77's have smaller tail lights as mentioned here and on the GTA IV page.

Year is 1978-'79 with that combination of the grille/headlights & bumper with the tail-lights integrated into the fins. The tail lights on the '77s were different and '80+ models were updated up front.

Also the Chrome strip running along the hood line would make this a Fleetwood Brougham rather than a Sedan DeVille, but then again this has the Sedan DeVilles smaller rocker panel trim rather than the Fleetwood Broughams wider rocker panel trim, which ran along the lower areas of the doors.

Safe to say year is 1978 or '79 instead of '81, may as well leave it as Sedan DeVille as the unique features between the two big caddy sedans from that era have been mixed up.

Cops in North Yanktown are also using this as a cop car. Strange choice if you ask me.

You're in luck, the beater version is still available, only now it doesn't backfire...in fact, it seems to drive just like the non-beater version. Both are also customizable, but the beater version will always look like a beater.

I've also seen beater variants of the Tornado.

I'm just pointing out the naming difference, it's like with the Toyota Hilux/Truck nameplate.

Sorry I was talking to Tycek about the Cadillac

The bodies are quite similar, but there are slight differencies in taillights and C pillar.

Correction on the Nissan truck, since it's in the US, it would've been called the Frontier instead while the Navara name was used in other countries.

Grill maybe taken from '77 year model, but the rest of the body is clearly '81. Just check on IV.
FR SolanaBogon photo_librarymode_comment

The grid is more like a '77



Than a '81



Oh and for the pickup, we can notice that the rears doors are small, due to the position of the handgrip. So I think it's a Nissan Navara with F-150 tailights

Just because it has F-150 tailights-doesn't mean it's an F-150.

YAY! There will be a F150 in the game! :love:

Yeah, roof looks curved than the F-150's boxy-ish design.

Rear lights off an F-150, roofline reminds me of a Ram.

Hey wait, totally brand new pickup behind the Emperor, taillights are definitely similar to the current generation Ford F-150. Possible updated Contender or a brand new truck?
