    I haven't noticed it before, but why such big and ornate tailfins on a 1953 Gavril?

    American low-priced cars of that era were rather simple designs.

    This is a 54 riviera, they are no Exner's DeSoto Adventurer but they are fins

    It's a rather expensive and upscale car.

    Or you can go in-character as a Cuban taxi driver and watch pirate copies of telenovelas.

    Okay, it may not be historically accurate. However, it's his mod, so he can do whatever he wants with it.

    You are right, but it has a buick radiator grille as well. It is a bit all over the place, just like BeamNG lore.

    Which, unlike the rear, does not look much out of place in a low-priced car.

    Yeah, the grille is kinda similar to a Buick Riviera.

    There was no 50s Buick named Riviera. It was just a designation for hardtops.

    I can't say for sure if it was named, but I found a images of a 50s car when looking it up.

    Riviera wouldn't be a separate nameplate until the 1963 MY. Please be precise with the stuff that you say because it moght throw people off

    That was just my opinion, but I should've made that more clear. Also, I should've said it looks similar, not that it is similar.

    Considering that the front-end of an early 50s low priced car has less perks than a level 2 profile on fallout New Vegas i will kindly disagree. look at this 53 Plymouth...

    Tbh, I personally think it looks kinda cool. Btw, I apologize for that thing I said earlier, my mistake.

    I'm not saying it's not cool, i'm saying that it is much less elaborate that a 53 Buick, and by extension, the 53 Gavril

    Hoonitruck is now a legit option. V6 twin turbo and AWD plus some nice welded diffs for slidey slidey.


    The turbos stick out (duh)
    I'm no drifter so I'd need someone to tune it for me tho....

    ,
    The Chevrolet was a bit fancier.



    Also, the Buick was a whole new body designed with tailfins in mind. Here, they stick out a lot.

    Nope, would rather have more aftermarket V8 options.
