Crazy Taxi cars

[shin_nihon_kikaku]

Hi there, I'm a massive crazy taxi fan but know very little about American cars. I'm trying to find out which real life cars the ones on the game are based on. I know for a fact some (if not all) are real as I have seen many of them in American films and TV programmes. I have seen number 2 and number 6 loads of times.

 

I have a link to a picture I have made with all the cars on and numbered them to make it easy to reply and say which ones you know.

Even if you only know one or two, please reply and tell me.

 

Thanks.

my guesses..

 

6= Cadillac

8= Old school ford car

10= GTO

11= Chevy truck

I did a google search for Cadillac and it turns out that lots of them are based on vaarious types of Cadillac.

 

I think numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12 are definately Cadillacs, just that I don't know know the exact names of them.

 

I'm still puzzled about the exact names and also the others.

Wow! Thanks a lot! You're car knowledge rivals my video game knowledge!

 

Good obscure car know how.

 

By the way - Some look slightly different but that will be Sega customizing them and making them look slightly more up to date.

 

I think number 8 and 9 are wrong. Maybe because I could only find a back view of number 9. Unless Google's search results are messed up.

 

Anyway, thanks.
