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.

I have no Idea why it was just a law this law was repealed in the 1990's and that's why all cars before 1990 had circular headlights.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! :D
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. :D
AMC Pacer

Car Town (2010)
Blue coins only, of course. :mad:
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.

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.

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.
Ford Thunderbird

Mafia II (2010)
Much closer to a 1955 than a 1957.
Ford Fairlane

Saints Row (2006)
The car from the Los Carnales mission is a Gunslinger, not a Hollywood.
Datsun 510

Test Drive: Eve of Destruction (2004)
Having played the game, this is definitely a Datsun 510.
Dodge Ram

Alan Wake (2010)
Silverado was a trim level during this time. It wasn't it's own model until 1999. I'd also be curious to know what identifies it as a 1985 model.
Dodge Ram

Alan Wake (2010)
K-series, 1973-1987.
Toyota Corolla Levin

World's Scariest Police Chases (2001)
The car really does resemble an Alero from several angles.
Chevrolet Caprice

Cruis'n USA (1994)
This traffic car was also a playable, unlockable vehicle, like the Jeep and the school bus.
Jeep Wrangler

Cruis'n USA (1994)
This Jeep was a playable unlockable vehicle.
