1959 Declasse Fulgencio aka "Yank Tank"
NOTE: This is one of my earlier designs, made around 5 months ago, and it's clearly inspired by 1959 Chevy Impala sedan. I've used modded plates to resemble old Cuban plates, which were unavoidable in the 1940s and 1950s cars in that island. Declasse Fulgencio is typical "yank tank" or "American boat" powered by 4.5 L V8 with roaring noise, it comes mostly in dual-toned paint job (as seen in image below) and also painted, luxurious leather interior. There's also mucho chrome all around the car. The car is also very fuel-thirsty and needs to be feeded with leaded gasoline (18 L / 100 km) and can reach up to 203 km/h.
This beast on 4 wheels comes with 2-geared, overdriven 2-speed automatic transmission, and accelerates to 100 km/h for 13.5 seconds (approx.)
It was produced from the last quarter of 1958 to the first quarter of 1960, when the last stocks were depleted and sold. Many of these cars ended in pre-Revolutionary Cuba, where they were used by politicians and American mafiosi from East Coast. The nickname Fulgencio is nod to that real-life fact.
