Dunno what ya mean by troll there man, Tis just a generic guess is all, I see this a lot, Every ol truck is a 'Ford AA' Every hotrod is a '32 Ford' every schoolbus is an 'Internatinal Harvester' Every 50s classic is a 57 chevy... ya get the idea,

Anyway my point is that It kinda really doesnt look like a Ford AA, so its strange that it would be so quickly renamed.. even tho a GTA car I said was wrong.... 6 Years aho, is still named the same?
Also stuff like this www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=84583

Ford AA kinda makes sence, in the fact it woulda been common.. but kinda dosent at the same time with that big ol wide grill.

well, Im just going by the facts I know, The art for this game was mostly stolen, Including stuff Ive made back then, After contacting the company who made the game, They explained that an outside artist was hired, this 'artist' simply downloaded a bunch of sprites from GTA1 modding sites edited them and sold them to the copmany..

This sprite was drawn by JRS21 someone I Knew from the modding days of GTA1, and he spcifically said, It was an S Class, so if the orignal sprite was an S Class, Mearly mirroring the image wont change it (also dident fool any of us) also Race driver The sprite was made in 2003, a year befor the CLS was even around.

Heh knew it would be said eventully,
But na, I woulda called it that, Grill and ood seems way too square, I figured it may be some kinda GMC, or a Mack, But I dident know. so blanked it. I dont think theres Anything with a grill that wide at the front tho? Closest ive found so far is some old macks, but I cant tell what they are, Same model name seems to have diffrent bodys from what I look up, some being wider front lookin.

Edit:
Ok so lokin around some more its really hard to find trucks that dont have really rounded tops to there grill, But some Oshkosh trucks are pretty wide and flat,


As is the Reno Speedwagon, Closer but still dosent seem quite there?

From what Ive seen tho truck bodys seem to come from lots of diffrent coachbuilders sometimes, so it could really be anything?

Faction isn't a problem. There's the Sabre Turbo already ingame, that sounds more problematic to me, as I think they won't add another Sabre since there's one ingame already.


But theres allready two Cavelcades, and two buffalos, and number of other cars with new and old versions.
Pluss I would also like one of these back in game since.. Untill 2015 I owned one. Now I miss it.. Tho Id say the rear end is closer to my 1987, than it was the 86, the 86 has kinda recessed lights rather than a flush rear.

Altho yeah. Front is off, So another GTA hybrid 600 looks pretty close like was allready said up there

Sure, Ill post them in the main game rather than here tho.

Also I still belive we cant judge on name, I mean The counthash is a diablo :P So calling a Sierra a Mundano is just as valid as calling a thunderbird an Impaler heh

Ford Mondeo

Grand Theft Auto (1997)

Your top view drawing of the Mondeo has the side windows way too curved and slanted. What did you use as a reference?


I used top a Contour, And side refrences of a mondeo, The contour is only avalicble as a 4 door sedan but there are no refs I can find of a mondeo of that era, I do belive a modeo directly from the top would look more curved than a sierra.



From the side you can see the windows are more rounded towords the top, from above this may look as if the roof is less stright, However I cant find a direct, top down view, Only angular images, and the angle of a picture can be very deceptive.

krq9 wrote
The roof of the mk1 Mondeo is quite flat actually, and viewed from the top, looks just as flat as the Sierra's.


even the picture you provided shows a slight curve compared to the sierra, the very top of the windows are fairly clsoe to the center of the roof.

krq9 wrote
Also, you seem to ignore that the Sierra has additional rear quarter windows, which the Mondeo doesn't. Just like the Mundano.




I just did them as dark as the side pillars, It would look rather clutterd with those in too, Also I used a 5 door sierra refrence, Nobody said it wasent a 3 door?



There is nothing that says the Mundano is a 4 door, Infact most cars in the game (except vulture and repair van) that have 4 doors have an animation for it opening, All 3 copcars, portsmouth all 3 taxis, regal, all limos, all busses, the brigham
also if you look at the mundano the rear door area would be slightly longer than the front, Like a 3 door sierra, a mondeos rear door is slightly shorter than the front one.

But you, seem to ignore. Mondeo has a more curved top of the rear hatch window, the front end is more rounded where as the ingame Mundano is rather flat.

krq9 wrote
All signs point towards Mondeo.


Not really, Infact the only reson it was called a Mondeo in the first place is because of its name Mundano, Wich is just a word play on the word Mundane, to mean a boring normal car, I know people would consider both the mondeo and sierra to be mundane, GTA Also named the Camaro a 'stallion' Wich would make it a mustang the thunderbird an 'Impaler' wich would make it an impala, The mercedes both an 'Itali', and 'Jugular' Making them an italian sports car, and a jaguar, the volvo a 'Regal' making it a regal (I doubt theyd use a cars real name) Corvette is a 'Thunderhead' making it a thunderbird? and the 'Challnger' wich is not actully a challnger... The reson im listing all these is to just point out, The name is meaningless A car could be called penis in the microwave for all I care, Im going to go on its physical aperance. or sometimes Filename wich on occasion gives clues. such as in GTA2 and ATS

GTA cars are a weird brand, I dare not even post my Bulldog theories.

Ford Mondeo

Grand Theft Auto (1997)
Its kinda close to call but I still belive its more sierra like. Theres the old concept, and then theres the shape.

I decided to get a bunch of refrence images from the sideera, and mondeo 5 door hatchbacks.



Ignoring the lights, Both cars have a large window on the tailgate, a very slightly raised area in the center of the hood, being a very bland car thats all I could pick out,

So heres a drawing I did based on the mondeo and sierra refrences, of the basic body shape.



I may have overdone it a little but the mondeo deiffinatly has more rounded side windows toworods the top, the rear of both cars is surprisngly flat if you look from the rear, only that the mondeo has a more rounded window, It seems rather close to call..

Heres each car drawing shrunk down to 35x62 pixels, The size of the car in the sprite for GTA.



So I think the reson some GTA cars look off, is due to the small sprite size, Cars are allways oddly proportioned being very short and wide, Its very close But I would still call this a sierra based on the flatter front, and flatter roof.

Where can I see those original concepts? I couldnt find that on the web. The original concept you posted looks a bit different, the front looks like taken from the Sierra but it's actually also a Mondeo front, just edited. So it's a Mondeo anyway I think

Ya the old DMA cars, they were avaliable years ago in some old GTA info pages, info is getting skechy as years go by, Theres also diffrent versions of the bulldog with diffrent front lights.

Anyway you are kidding right? The mondeo is much rounder, the Mundano in gta has too much of a flat roof, Theres also the chanels on the roof withere roofracks are attatched wich dont seem to be on all sierras,
Could ya explain the basis for saing its a modeo for me?

Wow. :wow: that's very deductive. :)

I think it would be listed as a Sierra. It looks more like one. I haven't seen you here before. Don't know if your new or I was a blind dumbass again, But hi. :lol:


Greetings, Ya I been around, havent posted much, I get fustrated with the lots of randomly posted car names.. I enjoy doing research into such things. and dont like the fact people can look at two diffrent cars and think there the same :P

I just hope all my research, explinations, and such dont end up anoying people.
Leyland Octopus

Grand Theft Auto (1997)
One of the most Bizar cars in GTA, I dont think the base model is even american, The game coming from a british company I think they just based the tanker on a random toy.

The unusual sides have allways confused me. They seem as if they are way too sloped,
Also 8 wheels? (or probly 12 wheels, But two rear axels with 4 front steering wheels)

te first thing this made me think of was those 8 wheel british trucks.


So I dug around a little and found this.


The tanker has allways been strange with its lined roof and 8 wheels funy sides.. but still that truck has flat sides.. so heres what I think happend.

Take a pic of the top of the truck, its not 100% top, theres a little side showing, so what if they just fliped the image and based it off that? to give it more character rather than being a flat box, with a cylinder behind it.

1. Pic of truck at angle

2. Flip image to mirror it.

3.Show wheels more, Add flamible sign, GTA Tanker



Sooo... Does this mean the GTA Tanker in the us, is actully a british Leyland Bison? That just seems really weird to me, Especially after I said 'This cant be this Cuz USA'

If it does it means the sprite is kinda inacurate.. MFG? heh

There are many variants of cars of the same year when it comes to muscle cars.
But this is kinda a No brainer.



Seems to have been named Msutang due to the name Stallion? Im.. beggining to see a patern here.
Ford Mondeo

Grand Theft Auto (1997)
While digging around in the history of GTA, for a mod I was making (reverting it all back to early concepts) I got ahold of the early DMA car concepts again, The game apears like it was going to use a more GTA2 like system, with trucks and trailers, and a much more GTA2 like, car color palet system.

anyway sevral cars are very similar, a few cars caught my attention, One of them being the car that looks very much like the Mundano.

The orignal concept I at first thought was a Murker Scorpio, but the rear window dosent fit, And the other Murker is only a 3 door, So this has some euro influence, Personally I think its a cross of the Europian Ford Sierra, the Scorpio, making some kinda weird Murker 5 door hatch, wich would have been cool.

Anyway take a look.



So how would ya call that? Ford Sierra? Dosent fit the us but looks closer, Murker Scorpio? Front is the same but rear window is diffrent.

Apears to be another case of Car named due to its ingame name, Please do reserach.

Ford Econoline

Grand Theft Auto (1997)
Its larger than any other GTA car, it has big flat sides, a clearly angular body, so whats that mean? Oh, Ofcorse, Its a small europian van.

Also the name Transit just means Movement, or To move, something is 'In transit'



Note some step vans have a very small split betwene the windsheild. In the transit this would be 2 pixels wide, wich would look like a 5 or so inch thick bar.



Many step vans also come with diffrent shaped hoods, grills, front ends, Roofs, and roof bars,
Because of all this, I belive the Tansit in GTA, Because of its size, shape, design I belive it to be a generic type of american step van from the late 90s.

I made yall a gif so ya can see it, Now go look, Most cars in this game seem to be edited from eachother, meaning mostly same model? Or just kinda made up. Id vote for the latter.

Apparently the texture (with the exception of the front end) is taken from a bus operated by Careful Bus Company out of Brooklyn, NY, with the company name removed and replaced with COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT.

A quick Google search of the phone number on the rear shows that it's their phone number.

Hah really? wow, I figured they would have to remove the number too right? tho trainsim has been sloppy with its edits, some construction equipment seems to have its name and numbers intact, and removed in some other versions? Weird.
