 Tucker 48 L.A. Noire (2011) | Note the strange "bump" on the rear decklid. This was not an original feature on Tuckers, but car #48 had some minor customization done to it years ago, and that pseudo-hood scoop was one of the additions. That tells me that the game designers probably used car #48 as a reference vehicle. | |
 Ford V-8 De Luxe L.A. Noire (2011) | Again, the car pictured is not a coupe, it's a 2-door sedan. 2 door sedan: www.chooseyouritem.com/classics/photos/161000/161139.1940.Ford.2-Door.Sedan.jpg Coupe: image.hotrod.com/f/9149338/051000_02z+1940_ford_tudor_coupe+side_view.jpg -- Last edit: 2011-05-21 00:37:48 | |
 Delage D8 120 S Pourtout Aero Coupé L.A. Noire (2011) | There's actually more than one, with slight coachwork differences. I've found this silver one, and also a gold one with a maroon stripe on the side. | |
 Ford V-8 L.A. Noire (2011) | I've found this hidden car, but for some reason it's bright red instead of black. A last minute change, or could there be more than one? | |
 Chevrolet Advance-Design 3100 L.A. Noire (2011) | Interestingly, both the Chevrolet and GMC models of this body style appear throughout the game. | |
 Ford V-8 De Luxe L.A. Noire (2011) | The famous sign did originally read "HOLLYWOODLAND" and when erected in 1923, it was an advertisement for a housing development in the Hollywood hills. The sign was originally supposed to only stand for 18 months, but it became an iconic part of the cityscape and was left up. In 1949 the "-LAND" portion of the sign was removed, since it had become a symbol of the Hollywood district of the city, rather than the "Hollywoodland" housing development. -- Last edit: 2011-05-18 03:50:55 | |
 Nash Super 600 L.A. Noire (2011) | Identified as a Nash Super in the game. | |
Ford V-8 De Luxe L.A. Noire (2011) | Yep, another '40 Ford Deluxe. Unlike the other one already listed, though, this one actually does appear to be a coupe. | |
Tucker 48 L.A. Noire (2011) | The Tucker family, I believe. | |
Ford V-8 De Luxe L.A. Noire (2011) | 1940 2-door sedan, not a coupe. | |
 Pontiac LeMans The Need for Speed (1994) | Definitely a 1974 Pontiac LeMans. Front: www.chooseyouritem.com/classics/photos/99000/99061.1974.Pontiac.LeMans.Sport.2-Door.Hardtop.jpg Rear: image.carcraft.com/f/9579024+w750+st0/5272_large+1974_Pontiac_LeMans+passenger_rear_side_view.jpg And for the record, it was available in a four door: 1.bp.blogspot.com/_nEcS7mTzh94/S4CYIaGhEFI/AAAAAAAADw8/WNCEErZXB1o/s400/1974+Le+Mans+4+door.png -- Last edit: 2011-04-18 20:09:34 | |
 Mercedes-Benz 190 Cabrio Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown (2005) | andrew nicholson wrote I have no Idea why it was just a law this law was repealed in the 1990's and that's why all cars before 1990 had circular headlights. Not quite. Rectangular headlights were first allowed in the U.S. market in 1975, but they had to be "sealed beam" units, which direct light beams with more intensity (and less ambient "spill") than the composite-type headlights used in other countries. Composite headlights were finally legalized for the U.S. market in 1987. European automakers, for whatever reason, would just slap round sealed-beam headlights onto their U.S.-bound cars rather than attempt to use a similar-looking sealed-beam rectangular unit. | |
 Ford Aerostar Car Town (2010) | That's a 1992-1997 grille. A 1986 would have the Ford emblem at the center of the grille, rather than the top of it. Those wheelcovers appear to the be the '90s-vintage style, too. | |
 Buick Roadmaster The Sims (2000) | 1955, not 1958. | |
 AMC Gremlin Car Town (2010) | Same here...but luckily I had three blue coins to blow on it. Now I have two AMCs!  | |
 Volkswagen Golf Car Town (2010) | I think square headlights go much better with the squared-off lines of the car, but to each his own. | |
 AMC Pacer Car Town (2010) | Blue coins only, of course.  | |
 Chevrolet Styleline De Luxe Driver 2: Back On The Streets (2000) | ...and the rest of the car is more Kaiser like. | |
 Dodge Challenger Test Drive Unlimited (2006) | Eh? It's pretty easy to tell a Hurst pistol-grip 4 speed from a slapstick T-handle. | |
 Nissan Maxima Test Drive: Eve of Destruction (2004) | Aye, I had an '86 "STi" model. Neat car. | |
Volkswagen Golf Car Town (2010) | I don't know why they call it a Rabbit, considering the bumpers and headlights seem to be from a Euro-spec Golf. If it had the square headlights, I'd probably buy it. | |
 Chevrolet Impala Alan Wake (2010) | Why is it listed as a '73 Delta 88? A few comparisons with the cars on www.stillruns.com should be enough to establish this as a 1972 Impala. | |
 Dodge Charger Stuntman (2002) | Why a 1974, not a 1971-1973? They all used the same body. | |
Chevrolet Impala Alan Wake (2010) | Agreed, 1972 Impala. | |
 Dodge Dakota Alan Wake (2010) | More accurately a Toyota Tacoma, given the game's North American setting. | |
 Pontiac Firebird Build 'n Race (2009) | Window slats, rear spoilers, side stripes, and blacked-out taillight panels were endemic of most muscle cars in the late '60s and early '70s, not just the Boss 302 Mustang (which this car really looks nothing like). | |
Pontiac Firebird Build 'n Race (2009) | From this angle, it looks a lot like a 1970 Ford Torino GT: ungn.powerwheelscd.com/images/twister004.jpg | |
 AMC Javelin Forza Motorsport 3 (2009) | CA_NES: I actually can't get it because I can't connect my console online...at the moment, I can't afford that blasted $100 online adapter. | |
AMC Javelin Forza Motorsport 3 (2009) | Great to finally see AMC represented in a mainstream driving game. It's a shame I can't download the pack...but maybe it'll appear in Forza 4, since they've already modeled it. | |
 GAZ 21 Volga Crackdown (2007) | Looks like a Volga to me. | |
 Ford Mustang Crackdown (2007) | From the rear it's a 1967-1969 Plymouth Barracuda. | |
 Cadillac Eldorado Car Town (2010) | sajmon14 wrote I'm not sure if this car was needed in this game I disagree...this game definitely needs more 1950s classics. What it needs less of is bland, late-model commuter cars. Every time I turn around they're releasing something like a 2004 Nissan Sentra. | |
 Volvo 242 Turbo Forza Motorsport 3 (2009) | Weren't the sealed-beam quad headlights exclusive to pre-'86 North American 240s? | |
 AMC Javelin Driver: Parallel Lines (2006) | The fender bulges don't even look remotely like a Javelin. And why specifically a 1974 Javelin, since they were completely identical to the 1973s? And furthermore, all 1971-1974 Javelins have the same basic shape that some of you think you're seeing here...there's nothing to even isolate the 1973-1974 models. | |
 Cadillac Series 62 L.A. Noire (2011) | 1947 Cadillac Series 62 convertible. www.seriouswheels.com/pics-1940-1949/1947-Cadillac-Series-62-Convertible-beige-re-2.jpg | |
 Chrysler Windsor L.A. Noire (2011) | 1946-1948 Chrysler, but as Mach1Mustang said, there's no telling the specific model from this angle. | |
 Pontiac GTO Project Gotham Racing 2 (2003) | Thirded. | |
 Jeep Grand Cherokee Cabela's 4x4: Offroad Adventure (2001) | I'd say this is a Grand Cherokee [ZJ], 1993-1998. | |
 Ford Bronco Cabela's 4x4: Offroad Adventure (2001) | They didn't even make the Trailblazer in 1980... | |
 Plymouth 'Cuda Gran Turismo 5 (2010) | And it's a "440+6", since the "Six Pack" moniker was only used on Dodge-branded cars. Same engine, but a different name. | |
 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda vDream Racing (2010) | This is a 'Cuda, not a Barracuda. | |
 Chevrolet Camaro vDream Racing (2010) | That front fascia makes this a 1982 to 1984 Camaro Sport Coupe (i.e., base model). | |
Plymouth 'Cuda Gran Turismo 5 (2010) | 'Cuda, in this case, not a Barracuda. | |
 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Car Town (2010) | Grille is wrong for a 1979...that's the year the grille moved to below the headlights, in the leading edge of the front bumper. This style was used for 1977 and 1978 only. | |
 Dodge Monaco Driver: San Francisco (2011) | Wrong taillights for a 1971...this rearend is roughly 1974-1976. | |
 Ford Taunus 12M Classic Car Racing (2007) | 1953-1957 Opel Olympia Rekord does seem to be the closet thing. | |
 Mercury Eight Classic Car Racing (2007) | Body shape is a 1949-1950 Mercury Eight. | |
 Cadillac Eldorado Seville Classic Car Racing (2007) | It's a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Seville. It can't be a Brougham, since it only has two doors. | |
 Cadillac Series 62 Classic Car Racing (2007) | With that trim, it's closer to a Series 62 convertible, 1960 model. | |
 Mercury Cougar Gran Turismo 5 (2010) | ShantJ: XR-7 was a trim level. |
