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

speedfreak975 2015-06-04 00:39	its a tatra 87 but with length of the tatra 77. (stretch out T87)
JFK 2015-06-03 21:45	We can all agree to list it temporarily as Tatra unknown
vocal95 2015-06-03 21:42	Tuppence870 wrote Tatra 87? JFK wrote 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.

Mediocre Mike 2015-06-03 18:56	vocal95 wrote 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.
vocal95 2015-06-03 18:29	Mediocre Mike wrote Somewhat similar to the McQuay-Norris Streamliner. Though it has the typical 50's future concept bubble-top, and is probably nuclear.

Tuppence870 2015-06-03 18:06	Tatra 87?
vocal95 2015-06-03 17:53	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.
