Released American 80's Fullsize Series 2.1

A long time ago already, a year and a half roughly

 

This one can't be on repo, it would require rebadging all the cars to vanilla brands and that is actually a lot of work with all those textures that contain irl brands, + it would kinda be against the spirit of the mod. Also if we used existing lore brands it would make for some weird lore that doesn't fit in, there is no such thing as GM in vanilla game so having cars from different brands sharing like half of the parts would feel off

 

The existing way is imo too confusing for an average user, even for some youtubers. It was done this way to boost repo downloads but it might be limiting forum ones instead

 

Looking at images with badges, noticed that the LS trim has a unique rear panel with different taillights for some reason, both for the 88 and 98. Similar to the Regency rear panel but not quite the same, the 2 rows are joined rather than separate. Idk how I didn't catch this before lol this is pretty big


So I quickly modelled it based on the Regency tailcone.


The badges research is taking a long time, idk if I can even get that done this weekend. Super hard to find images of base models because everyone was buying the Royale and Royale Brougham instead.

 

Help would be appreciated, I'm looking for good quality images of various badges and letterings that were on the Delta 88 and Custom Cruiser in various places, car must be stock and need to know the year, trim and engine. Especially of the base models. Factory photos from prochures, advertising and stuff will be more trustworthy.

 

Research results so far, still need to figure out the wheel badges and the Custom Cruiser badges (it has less of them thankfully but more model years)

 

This should be all finally, I can start actually making these badges now


Also since many people wanted this steering wheel I modelled it as good as I could based on the LeGran one.
