1950s Cars.

[byegad]

OK

I'm new to GT5 and loving every minute on track. I am especially enjoying the older cars and there a lot of 1960s car to play with, I've not got them all but I'm getting there.

I'd love to be able to drive some 50s classics too. Jaguar* D Type and C Type, Aston Martin DBS, several Ferraris, Lotus 11 and the open Mercedes 300SLR of Sir Stirling Moss in the winner of the Mille Miglia in the fastest ever time, Race Number 722, would be great.

So far I've found a '54 Chevrolet Corvette, a Merc' 300 SL plus there a few 1940s none race worthy cars. Have I missed any 1950s cars in the game? The 300SL

*We get the XJ13 which never raced and not the D Type, which won a few races including three 24 Heures Du Mans IIRC. Why?

Hopefully KAz will get around to filling our dreams at some point. We do get Corvette C2 race car, Ferrari 330P4 and Ford Mk IV Le MAns cars, ando Lambo Muira protptype.

 

[DeadEnd]

The Subaru 360 is from '58 if I recall correctly. Not sure about the handling though

I recommend getting the Nissans (well Datsuns really) from the early sixties.

 

[Crumpet]

The Skyline 2000GT-R is a good one, it is from the early sixties, but close enough.

 

[lowwatt]

every car needs to be tested by the creators

dat insurance

 

[Left Turn]

If there was a '57 Chevy, I think I'd cry.

 

[peter_vod69]

The Jaguar was included as a bit of a "what if" to compare it to the Ford GT40 Mk IV and the Ferrari 330P4

 

[DeadEnd]

You might also like the Chevrolet SSR and the Chrysler Prowler which are based on '40s and '50s cars.

They need to re-add the Ford Model T

 

[watermelon punch]

As far as I know, these are the only 50s cars in the game:

Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (C1) ‘54
Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe ‘54
Citroen 2CV Type A '54
Subaru SUBARU 360 ‘58

oops forgot two

But sadly the 2cv is rather ... well, I liked it better in gt4. haha.
And the Subaru 360 is just awful unfortunately... Unmodified it's annoyingly slow - and that's bad if I say it because I like the low hp cars. If you upgrade it with more power - the handling becomes BIZARRELY poor.

Here is every car in the game from 1950-1959:

Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe '54
Citroen 2CV Type A '54
Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (C1) '54
Subaru 360 '58

Honorable Mention:
Mecedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe Chrome Line (Doesn't officially have a year in the game.)

I am sure that if you ship those cars to PD's modeling studio in Japan that they will eventually be put into a GT game. Send them some '50s Alfa Romeo race cars too.

Seriously though, I am sure Kaz would love to have every car ever made included in the game. It just take time to model them and he has to prioritize which ones get included. Unfortunately for us there are too many "kids" out there screaming for the latest super car for us that want the classics to be hear.

Sad but true.

Only if you can paint it black!

I agree, then make people use it in a new seasonal event on Route X, 10 laps should do it. 👍

We should start a petition, maybe we'll get enough votes for the classic cars to get higher priority
While we're at it, we should start a petition for more premium non race/tuner cars, not just classics, also old timers and young-timers (80's and 90's cars)

 

[Grand Prix]

It boggles my mind that they still haven't put in the DBR1, D-Type and 250 Testarossa when they have had the Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Ferrari licenses for ages now. We have a Mercedes 300SL, why not a 300SLR race mod? It leads me to think that PD are more interested in 1960s racing cars.


Which would be a great shame, because the front-engined racing cars of the 1950s would be awesome to toss about on high speed curves.


Maserati are also sorely misrepresented, having established their reputation in that era. I know the reason we don't have other F1 cars in the game is because putting two different F1 makes in the same race would be considered a "Grand Prix," for which PD don't have a license, but I think the Maserati 250F would be awesome even if we could only race against other 250Fs. If not Maserati, there are plenty of great Ferrari F1 cars from that period too.

 

[White & Nerdy]

Only one guy mentions American cars from the 50s?

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
1956 DeSoto Pacesetter
1955 Chrysler C-300
1957 Ford F-Bird

Make it happen.

Those would be great as well. Would be awesome to tune those up and paint them in ridiculous colours. Also gotta have a '50s Cadillac in pink, because BOSS.

Now that belongs to a Hairdresser!

 

[White & Nerdy]

I'd have a '59 in Coca-Cola red.

There already is a place for this here. If you ask for something popular enough it will get noticed and will probably get in the game. Good luck, and if you do put something there, let us know here so we can vote for it.

LOL! Well he could carry it off. Not many could and retain their babe credibility.

OK It's there title more 1950s cars.

Lets see how we do. My personal favourites are the D Type and 300 SLR, but the latter, MUST come with the number 722!

Am I showing my age? I don't care.

Yes but it's not from the 50s and anyway are you really comparing it to a D Type or 300 SLR? Surely not.

I will get hold of one when I see it and tell you what I thought. 👍 or 👎
