So, rollcages are meant to protect the driver and the car in case of a rollover or a crash. Turns out, they're not so effective if you have 15 trucks falling on top of you.
post- *doesn't have a screenshot* @Alex_The_Gamer - this is 100% a joke, no mean intentions in this post. I mean no harm to alex or anyone else, this is merely a joke i am making based off of observations of converstions in this thread.
Gavril initially planned to kill off the Marshal line in 1989. The porky full-size sedan had been carried over from the late 70's virtually unchanged and sales were faltering. However, pressure from police departments and fleet buyers forced Gavril to grant their longest-running model series one last stay of execution. While the mid-range Marshal nameplate moved to an all-new, cutting-edge FWD platform (and quickly became a best-seller), the flagship Grand Marshal stuck around as a traditional full-size RWD sedan, produced in some form or another from 1990-1997. The styling was completely revised in favor of a more aerodynamic look, in line with Gavril's other offerings. The 3.8-liter V6 and 307 CI small block of the prior generation were both replaced by the "Next Generation" overhead cam V8 family. There were three original variants: base, Luxe and Sport. The base model, produced from 1990-1994, featured a 4.5-liter V8 producing 218 HP. The Police Package, based on this model and manufactured throughout the entire production run, came with a 5.5-liter V8, heavy-duty suspension, a push bar, stab-proof front seats and a helping of other law-enforcement-oriented features. The Luxe trim offered special chrome trim and wheels, a deluxe cloth or plush leather interior, an upgraded sound system and various other extras. For the most part it was mechanically identical to the base model, but leaked court documents from the 2001 intake manifold cracking lawsuit show that at least two examples were ordered with a 5.5-liter V8. While the base model was discontinued in 1994 due to slow sales, production of the Luxe and Sport models lasted through 1995. In the 90's, performance was making a comeback. The Grand Marshal Sport provided a 5.5-liter V8 producing 241 HP, an aggressive 3.73:1 final drive, a limited-slip differential, sport suspension and a firm faux-leather interior. It was capable of 0-60 in around 6.7 seconds - not bad for a large sedan. Gavril dealerships were still selling backstocked '79-'89 Marshals to fleet buyers as late as 1992, but once those ran out, they were left without a fleet-market sedan offering. In 1993, Gavril filled the gap with the Marshal Classic. This was a stripped-out base model with vinyl seats and no chrome - not even any trunk badging - sold exclusively in bulk at a sharp discount. The Marshal Classic was produced right up until the Grand Marshal's final demise in 1997, when the last plant was retooled to build the Roamer SUV. For comparison, all of the Grand Marshal's civilian trims were extinct by 1995... ...all except one. The RS, manufactured from 1995-1997 - the last few were sold as 1998's - was the last survivor of the family. It replaced the Sport model, adding a facelifted front bumper, chrome wheels, blacked-out grille and body-colored mirrors and trim. Power came from a supercharged 5.5 V8, rated at 348 HP and 418 lbs-ft. It managed 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, making it one of the fastest sedans on the market. Gavril was not about to send off their venerable flagship lineage, dating all the way back to the 1946 Burnside Standard/Special, without a celebration. And that was it - the end of an era, the end of the traditional American sedan, and what an end it was.
Oh look, a heard of sunbursts (without their body panels for FPS [I had 16 cars spawned]) at the highway
