Oceanic

The Oceanic is a four-door sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

3D Universe
Based on 1950s and 1960s car designs, the overall shape, color scheme and influence appears to be from the 1955 Nash Ambassador Sedan, with the front and roof of the Oceanic resembling other details from the, , or ; the sides are reminiscent of a , and the back resembles that of a (note that the Glendale also combines 1961 Dodge and 1955 GM vehicles, including the Polara, possibly suggesting that they share a manufacturer or are somehow related).

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Oceanic always features a two-tone paint job, white at the front with another color along the side and rear, a style typical of mid-1950s cars; in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories the car can also feature a single color paintjob. All renditions of the vehicle are identical, aside from the addition of a fuel cap on the rear-left side in the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas rendition.

3D Universe
The Oceanic has only a moderate top speed, but has great handling and torque. However, it is also prone to flipping, especially when attempting to go around corners at top speed. Despite its faults, its build quality is excellent and can withstand a lot of damage before blowing up, so it is a pretty good choice for ramming into other cars.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

 * The Oceanic can only be modified in a TransFender garage.

Bloodring Banger
The Oceanic's design serves as the basis of one of two Bloodring Bangers in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (internally known as ), featuring tweaked handling and performance and a modified body design. Unlike its counterpart, the Glendale-based Bloodring Banger, the Oceanic-based variant does not appear in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

 * Life's a Beach - One can be found at the party in Verona Beach during the mission.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

 * Got Protection? - Parked besides Marty's prostitution business after the Cholos attack it.

Locations
The Oceanic is widely available in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. This may be due to the large areas of beach in these two games. However in GTA San Andreas it is less common. The Oceanic is one of the gang vehicles of the Los Santos Vagos, and as such, the Oceanic becomes extremely rare after the player has taken over all of their gang territory.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

 * In front of Ocean View Hotel in Ocean Drive, Ocean Beach. The car constantly appears with a yellow-white paintjob.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

 * Common in territories the Los Santos Vagos; it spawns in East Beach, Las Colinas and Los Flores.
 * After all Vagos' turfs are taken over, the only places that the car can be found in traffic are the beach areas of Los Santos.
 * Spawned in Vigilante and Firefighter.
 * Spawns more often while the beach theme or cheap cars cheats are active.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

 * On the southern edge of the Washington Beach area, directly east of a FIDL supermarket. Go to Ken Rosenberg's office from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City then go down in the alley on the north side of the building then take a right on the road. Drive straight until the next intersection. Once at the intersection, go to the left. Looking on the left side, it should be parked in front of a building.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

 * The yellow-white Oceanic outside the Ocean View Hotel is a reference to the yellow-white Oldsmobile Super 88 parked outside the Avalon Hotel in Ocean Drive, Miami.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

 * The default radio station of the Oceanic is Bounce FM, however those driven by Vagos members will play K-DST or Master Sounds 98.3 if carjacked.
 * The beta Oceanic has the same model as the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City rendition.
 * There is a bug where the exhaust pipe of the car is placed halfway between the license plate and the right corner of the bumper, but the smoke and nitrous come from the corner, not from the pipe.
