TheGame 2024-08-24 04:45	UtterNoobery wrote Alright, i have some revisions. This is actually a Y76 optioned 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass (based on the shape of the tailights and the chrome strip in between them which is absent on the 76-77 cars), which is basically the Oldsmobile version of the Century. Had I known the Y76 optioned Cutlasses existed I would've marked this car as one. The regular Cutlasses never had this specific style of landau roof. Only the Y76 cars had it, and the Y76 cars are rare and the average 70s car enthusiast (me) doesn't know about them. www.oldcarsweekly.com/features/car-of-the-week-1977-oldsmobile-cutlass-s classicoldsmobile.com/forums/general-discussion-33/1976-oldsmobile-cutlass-s-mag-7-a-171926/ This "mag-7" one is the same color as the ingame style. y76cutlass.com/y76 interesting find

UtterNoobery 2024-05-20 22:59	I think I've finally found out what this car is - a 1976-1977 Buick Century with Landau roof. Its either a Special or base model based on the roofline, but given that it has the V8 engine sound and isn't slow as a turtle it's probably the base model with the 350 V8. Most photos you'll see of these cars with this roofline and landau roofs will be of Specials, but they were available on the base model Century also. The Century Custom had the separate roofline which was shared with the Regals of the same year. What's interesting about this car is that it reuses the same textures as the red Buick Regal from Miami - Even the taillights are the same, just made much smaller and turned vertical. Something that's also funny is when you completely damage this car its entire rear end crumples in, making it look like a liftback/hatchback. www.championmotorsinternational.com/1976-buick-special-c-921.htm classiccarcatalogue.com/B/buick%201976%20Florida_SunCoupe.jpg www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/buick/bu77/bilder/35.jpg The first 2 links are pictures, the 3rd one is an information sheet that shows the options and models of the 1977 Buick intermediates (including this car). I really hope I'm not the first one in 25 years to find out what this car is... -- Last edit: 2024-05-20 23:00:48
UtterNoobery 2024-05-12 23:44	Looks like the front half of a 78 Buick Regal with the back half of a 1977 Monte Carlo grafted on. If you use it in game, you can tell that the rear half has huge hips that are way out of proportion with the front. -- Last edit: 2024-05-12 23:45:51
Fisico9798 2020-05-21 00:06	This car is exclusive in the original PlayStation 1 version. It appears as standard New York car in the game for Take a ride Mode and driving games mode. But in Undercover mode it has only one Mission were it appears. New York City Mission - 'Luthers Heap o Junk' The front grill as mention from others in earlier comments is from the Buick Regal that appears in the earlier Miami mission 'Hide the Evidence': igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=345 I think that it is a custom made Buick Regal Hatchback. But Chevrolet Monte Carlo or Dodge Magnum XE are also not wrong. Despite the front grille of the car which is definitely from the normal Buick Regal. Honestly, it's hard to tell which car it really is.

Desscythe17 2016-04-07 10:34	Only the grille and maybe the sides look like a Magnum. www.webcarstory.com/voiture.php?id=17680 The headlights are from the 78 or 79 Regal. www.webcarstory.com/voiture.php?id=15741
Rinspeed 2016-04-07 10:17	Razor440 wrote No. But it would bump the cool factor. I'm just new here. It may sound silly to some but I felt threatened when you put an exclamation point at the end of your sentence. Just because you have the arm of justice doesn't mean that you can't think about who's behind the keyboard here, and how they feel about what you just said to them. i.imgur.com/Qv0lsDf.png i'll just post a link...

AutoTracker 2016-04-07 00:18	Burn Rubber wrote Second generation Regal I mean. (Which is practically a GNX) I still don't think this is a 79 Magnum at all... When I look up Buick Regal on Google, I get the current generation model. (2011+)
Hakari 2016-04-07 00:13	Razor440 wrote I know this because my dad has one. In fact, it's on Wikimedia since he provided a pic for it. The Regal dosen't have retractable headlights though. By the way, this is the second first generation Dodge Magnum on IGCD. I've asked about the car in game. Rinspeed wrote To Razor440 and Burn Rubber, Stop posting big pics in your comments! So maybe you should edit their comments instead of deleting them? Now it looks like one big mess.

Razor440 2016-04-06 23:34	Burn Rubber wrote Shit... I looked up the wrong freaking car again. I saw the second generation... Umm, you mean the Magnum or the Monte Carlo? Hakari wrote But how do you know that this car have this type of headlights? The whole front is taken from Regal anyway. I know this because my dad has one. In fact, it's on Wikimedia since he provided a pic for it. The Regal dosen't have retractable headlights though. And remember folks, 1979 Dodge Magnum. Not 2005. By the way, this is the second first generation Dodge Magnum on IGCD. -- Last edit: 2016-04-06 23:36:55
JFK 2016-04-06 22:18	Burn Rubber wrote Really? i.imgur.com/HeFsyZx.jpg Yes, really: www.conceptcarz.com/images/Buick/79-Buick_Regal_DV-07-HPA-03.jpg
Hakari 2016-04-06 21:41	Razor440 wrote This car appears to have open hidden headlights. The 1978-1979 Dodge Magnum was known for having those headlights. There is no way, and I mean no way this is a 1971. This car has the looks of a late 70's car, not a early Monte Carlo. I understand you saying the tailights look like the ones from a 1971, but to say that the car as a whole looks like a 1971 Monte Carlo...or any 1970's Monte Carlo isn't true. But how do you know that this car have this type of headlights? The whole front is taken from Regal anyway. -- Last edit: 2016-04-06 21:41:17
Hakari 2016-04-06 20:35	JFK wrote Front is 79 Buick Regal, sides kinda match with Magnum. Kinda. But overall look of this car is really close to Monte Carlo. Especially the rear end.
JFK 2016-04-06 20:30	Hakari wrote You can do it by yourself. Simply click on the "EDIT" button above, just under the year of listed car. Personally, I don't see much Magnum there. I think the best match is '71 Monte Carlo as suggested on this page: www.drivergarage.i8.com/NYCar.htm Front is 79 Buick Regal, sides kinda match with Magnum.
JFK 2016-04-06 20:29	Razor440 wrote EDIT: Uploaded better images. Also, can the car be changed to a 1979 Dodge Magnum XE? Done, new main pic should appear after few minutes if we will get lucky.

JFK 2016-04-06 18:18	Hakari wrote It happens when you post a big picture in your comment. Yeah, very annoying. You should also send us a photo of a rear. It only appears on PSX version as a standard NY car (if I remember correctly). He might post the rear to the car itself and picture is now waiting to be validated.

BadHairDay 2013-11-03 19:20	But I think THIS one is the Monte Carlo, the other one is the Regal. It's dumb that they picked the same color for both though :P
ND4SPD Racer 2013-10-28 17:14	The rear is different from the other Regal in game. Here is a comparison between this car and the 71 Monte Carlo: www.drivergarage.i8.com/NYCar.htm
BadHairDay 2013-10-28 15:03	It's a Chevrolet Monte Carlo
k9underdogg 2012-12-27 03:57	I think it's a Monte Carlo even though it looks so much like the other Regal from the game.
440 mopar 2009-05-09 21:59	71 Monte Carlo? i think you mean '78-79 Buick Regal farm1.static.flickr.com/218/490832580_0601524f70.jpg?v=0
