The automobile is an important part of the world of Weird Adventures, though no specific automobile makes are mentioned in the book. Some of these after appeared in play; after all, adventurers like to get around town in style.
A modest new sedan (like a standard model from the Cord Motor Company) can be purchased for around $500-600. Fancier automobiles or sporty models will cost more--sometimes, much more. Here are a couple of high end examples that have appeared in my games:
5883 Raser "Dual Six" Fitzroy Sports Saloon
Engine: V12, 150 bhp
Top Speed: 100 mph
This is a luxury automobile; less than 60 exist and each was built to order at a price of $12,000+. Cornelius Doyle's has a silver elephant head hood ornament.
5885 Auberon 761 Series C Speedster
Engine: super-charged 8-cylinder, 150 bhp
Top Speed: 104 mph
This stylish roadster sales for $2245. Gentleman thief Don Diabolico is the proud owner of one.
Very nice. Who wouldn't want to own a Sports Saloon - especially if you have a driver?
ReplyDelete@John - Doyle didn't have a chaffeur, but he did have a personal assistant and a big cat.
ReplyDeleteYep, put me down for a Sports Saloon, too. It looks like the Adams Family's car.
ReplyDeleteCity post! Kick ass!
ReplyDeleteHey, where's the Borismoblie?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question, Tim: What does Boris drive?

ReplyDeleteThis would be a good start.
That's a good start--though I'm sure it's street legal.
