Here's a new one! Anyone who's a fan of Fallout 3 might recognize this old tank right at first sight. This is the Corvega Luxury 4-door hardtop by Chryslus Motors. For anyone who hasn't caught on, this isn't a real car or a real motor company.

No these cars, or at least what remain of them, litter the Capital Wasteland of Fallout 3. The game's storyline centers around Earth in an alternate time-line where in the year 2077 the US was still in the 50's style of things and the atomic power is still very much predominant over other forms of power. It's so much so that almost everything is powered by atomic and power including vehicles.

It's unfortunate that I couldn't show off the rear of this car more. If you could see it though you'd see a large compartment in the center rear that hoses the nuclear reactor which powers the car. In the game the casings on the reactors have worn away, since the game takes place in a post-war radiated wasteland, so if the cars take too much damage they'll explode in a mushroom cloud!

Anyway, I'll leave with an article from Falloutwiki:

"The Corvega was a car model manufactured by Chryslus Motors, popular in pre-War USA. There were at least three models produced before the war in this line. According to the Fallout intro, the Corvega does not have electronic parts (only analog system) and can go from 0 to 60 mph in .5 of a second. Still unknown is when the Corvega came onto the market, but in 2056 it was already available for customers. Its 2060s cost (directly after the invasion of US forces into Canada) was $199,999.99, which was either due to being a high-end luxury automobile, or, more likely, inflation, since there is a high number of them throughout the wastelands."

I may do the other model cars from the game too since they look pretty cool, we'll see. ^^
