    When the rear end isn't sliding about like crazy (which is very rare), it handles well considering it's weight. Also, speaking of grand marshal boat:

    It literally has the engines used for heavy duty trucks, pickup, SUVs and van, and it's much lighter than them

    I always say that gm and h-series should be remastered, in sense that they should have both facelift and pre-base lift, gm wagon and limo body, and h-series should take some things from @Nekkit and @AR162B mods, and 1983 pre-base model by @DankMemeBunny. For the rest, i hope in Miramar or Pigeon revamp. Or Barstow and Moonhawk
    But iagree wit you when you said jbeam and some new parts

    If the devs were ever stuck with ideas for official vehicles and wanted something that didn't require as heavy work for a entirely new platform they could always just use the Grand Marshall chassis and create a Late 70's- early 90's body style and interior for it.


    Also an older engine platform (heavily modified from the Barstow and Bluebuck) would be great too.

    Sorry if this is a unwanted bump.

    It would be a good idea in a future update to be able to select the colour of the grill on the GM regardless of the skin, like the LeGran

    I do think that all of the vehicles should have 'uniform' customisation. By this, I mean how with the d series, you can choose a different valance, grille, and fascia under the parts selector, and it isn't limited by the skin. The same should happen to the GM, H-Series, and maybe even some of the other non-Gavril cars.

    May as well put this here.
    The good thing with a luxury model as it would basically give us a new vehicle with minimal work. plus there is potential for a limo body style and a landau top, Here are some images of a real life equivalents of what I'm talking about.

    I think GM needs a Wheel skirt like Buick Roadmaster, like in these pics

    Hence the suggestion of a more luxury oriented model. Plus it could give us a new brand as Burnside looks like it would have been a mid level brand similar to Mercury or Buick/Oldsmobile.

    Burnside is DeSoto, if I'm not wrong.

    For Buick, we have Bruckell

    For Pontiac, Soliad

    For Oldsmobile, Oldsfullsize

    Then I was thinking to this too for GM (PICS ARE NOT MINE)

    franz, do keep in mind that this is effectively a crown vic, and therefore your suggestion pictures should probably be of crown vic-editions, not cadillacs. Though I do agree, the marshall definitely has some potention in the luxury/limo department.
