Good evening Gentlemen, Ladies if there are any.
I think we can all agree that cruisin' around with the radio on is one of Mafia II's biggest draws. I know it's why I bought the game. All those superbly detailed if not charmingly misnomered vintage cars sucked me right in.
I recently came across a few autos that have been superbly modded into games such as GTA4, the two best being the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere (Christine's older sister):

... And the 1959 Chevrolet Impala (There doesn't seem to be as much out there on this baby...)

I think these Late-Fifties Lovelys would fit right in on the streets of Empire Bay, don't you?Ãâà(//bigwink.gif)
Can anyone make it happen for me?
Much obliged.
They just look awsome <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
to bad they are not for Mafia 2Ãâà:'(
Honeys like these certainly deserve the Mafia II treatment (Bumpers and trim that actually look chrome-plated, etc.)
And I can personally guarantee my own and many other vintage car buffs' gameplay experience would greatly benefitted by their inclusion. :woohoo:
I myself have no modding skills or equipment, otherwise I'd have tackled it by now. Any modder who attempts this noble feat is worthy of my adulation.
I've also discovered a 1959 Cadillac that appears to be of a slightly lesser quality than the Plymouth and the Chevy, Nothing that a good modder can't fix I'm sure. <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink.png" alt="(//wink.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">

And also a gorgeous 1960 Chevrolet Corvette that would be a neat contrast with Mafia II's '53 version:

I say again:
Can It Be Done?
Mafia II is full of gorgeous early to mid fifties cars, despite the anachronous 1951 setting, but they missed the boat on these fantastic '57-'61 land yachts! Make my dream come true fellas! :cheer:
Many thanks.
