Buick Century

Far Cry 6 (2021)
That front end is almost 100% 1957 Chevy, with Corvette grille teeth. The rear is very '56 Buick-ish.

Personally I can't see it but ok


It's had the firewall and windscreen sloped really far back and the rear of the cab pushed out as well. The big giveaway is the gunners hatch on the passenger side of the roof.

Sort of. There was no F-150, but there was an F-250, F-350, F-600 and F-700. As for being a '56, it doesn't have a wrap-around windscreen, making it a pre-1956 model, probably a 1955.
Buick Sedanette Custom

Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
The old Hermes was a '49-'51 Merc custom, this car definitely isn't a Mercury. It looks more like a late 40's, early 50's GM product. More specifically, it looks like a 1949 Buick Sedanette Fastback with a custom hardtop.

For example:

It even has the same LED tail-light strip as this car:

Ford Nucleon

Forza Motorsport 6 (2015)
The Nucleon looked almost like a cab-over pickup. This looks more like a combination of the 1954 Ford FX Atmos concept and Daryl Starbirds "Forcasta"

Fallout 4 (2015)

I'm not seeing any L'Universelle in this either. What I am seeing is a hodge-podge of 50's era Ford Thames and Commer van, with a bit of this Ford Concept bus thrown in for good measure. The basket-handle trim behind the front doors is also a very Ford thing (think Ford Mystere and the 55-56 Crown Victoria.

Pontiac GTO

Just because GTOs are rare in Australia in the real world, it doesn't mean you can't use one in a video game. The fact of being Right Hand Drive is almost irrelevant, every vehicle in this game is RHD. It is an un-necessary amount of extra coding to implement Left Hand & Right Hand Drive cars in a game where the player can get in & out of the car. 'Use-case' wise it would be a total can of worms.


I totally understand what you're saying, I'm just pointing out that while there is a variety of American cars available in game, in the real world (and the overall Mad Max universe) they're uncommon. That being said, there are US built cars scattered throughout the movies (like Fifis LeMans). I know I'm reading too much into a game, but I recall watching coverage of the Black Saturday bushfires and seeing footage of a man risking his life to save his beloved AP6 Valiant while his house and brand new Land Cruiser burned around him. Who's to say that wouldn't happen if people were fleeing a war zone?
Ford Falcon 'V8 Interceptor'

I wouldn't use the Tail light Panel for identification as most of the Magnum Opus Car Bodies (Furnace, Ripper, Death Rattle) have no tail light panels. Additionally the Landaus full width tail panel has a much lower bezel wrapping around it, whereas this doesn't, and resembles the Falcon more.

Were Landaus available with the same Ram-Air hood as the GT Falcons? I haven't seen picture of any. Plus the Landaus hoods had a distinct bulge in the centre towards the front.

This also has the XB Falcon Rear Side Marker lights and not the Landaus


The GT hood wasn't a factory option, but it was quite a common practice in the 80's to ditch the Landau front end for Falcon or Fairlane panels. I believe Landaus used a modified ZG Fairlane front end, as they share the same distinct bulge on the hood. I'm not sure you can discount it as a Landau just yet. The rear marker lights on a Landau are usually horizontal,BUT there are a few with vertical markers and even a few XB Falcon coupes (and utes!) with horizontal side markers. Ford Australia is formidable for using leftover parts, and Landaus and LTDs were mostly unused XA and early XB shells (the 300 or so leftover coupe shells from the LTD division eventually became XC Cobras). The modelers probably used the same basic model as the Interceptor for this one, which would explain the similarities, but that short quarter window is very distinct.

Plymouth Barracuda

Mad Max (2015)
Yep, converted to RHD at a shop on the Gold Coast. There were only a handful of early Barracudas converted, and they were all sold privately.
Pontiac GTO

Mad Max (2015)
RHD GTOs are rare, as they're private imports that have been converted. Only Poncho you could buy from a dealer here was the parisienne 4-door hardtop.
Ford Falcon 'V8 Interceptor'

Mad Max (2015)
That's it! I think the model name should be changed to 1973 Ford Landau P5. It has the right quarter windows, and no tail-light panel (Landaus and LTDs used a different, full-width panel.
Royal Enfield Thunderbird Twinspark

Mad Max (2015)
Definitely an English bike, a Royal Enfield possibly?
Chevrolet Master 5 Window Coupe

Mad Max (2015)
I think this is actually a 1934 Chevrolet Coupe. The body lines and windshield angle aren't right for a '33 Ford.

Ford Falcon 'V8 Interceptor'

Mad Max (2015)
I keep coming back to look at this one because there's something a bit off about it. The rear quarter windows look wrong... is it possible they've lowered the roof a little on this model?

Cut down WWII Chevy or Ford Blitz 1.5 ton truck.
Oldsmobile 88

Mad Max (2015)
I agree, it's more than likely a cut-down coupe. Although, RHD Chevrolet, Pontiac and Oldsmobile 4-door sedans were available in Australia into the early 1960's

Either VF Valiant or Barracuda.


Pretty sure it's not a Valiant. VG-VFs have a pretty severe slope above the grille, and 2 small marker lights above the headlights. This car has neither of those things.

HK Monaro body on some heavy-duty machinery.
Ford Falcon 'V8 Interceptor'

It's not necessarily a GT, or even an XB. Assuming this isn't THE black on black pursuit, it could be an XA, XB or XC coupe from any trim level (Falcon 500, Fairmont, GS, etc.)
Ford Mainline

Mad Max (2015)
I agree, this is a 1954 Ford Mainline.'55 and up had a wrap-around windshield. I should know, I own one.
