The Brigham is a 4-door sedan first appearing in Grand Theft Auto and a full-sized vintage coach wagon in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the San Andreas Mercenaries update, released on October 12, 2023, during the Halloween 2023 (Week 2) event. It is manufactured by Albany in the HD Universe.
Influence[]
Grand Theft Auto[]
The Brigham is depicted as a basic 4-door sedan that seems to be based on the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
It appears to be primarily based on a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor, which itself is a conversion of the 7th generation Cadillac Fleetwood/Series 70 (1959). Its rear window bears resemblance to the 1959 Superior-Cadillac models, such as the Broadmoor Skyview and Royale coach series. The headlights and some frontal elements seem to bear a resemblance to the 1963 Cadillac Series 62, while the rear bumper might have been inspired by the later models of the fifth generation of the Series 62.
The vehicle features a unique horn which imitates a looping cat growl, a reference to the Ectomobile, a modified Cadillac Miller-Meteor used in the Ghostbusters franchise, whose siren was actually created from the sound of a cat growl.[1] The warning sirens will malfunction from overuse, slowing down to an eventual halt if the driver holds the horn down for roughly 20 seconds.[2]
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto[]
It appears to serves as the base model for the Limousine.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Albany Brigham returns in the San Andreas Mercenaries update for the enhanced versions of the game. It assumes a large, wide body, sharing much of its greenhouse area with the Eudora. In contrast to the Eudora, however the Brigham boasts a striking front-end design characterized by a revamped bumper with additional high-beam lamps, grille, and hood. Chrome accents adorn the fenders and sides, while an aerial is mounted on the passenger side front fender.
While the side profile bears resemblance to the Eudora, the Brigham ditches the sharp wings that sliced through the body, creating a smoother silhouette. At the back, a single traditional van door is flanked by two rear quarter windows, ensuring excellent visibility. Inspired by the Tornado, the Brigham incorporates prominent fins along the sides, serving as a stylish housing for the rear lights.
The "Coffin" interior modification will remove the rear-end seats, however, this is purely a cosmetic change and will still hold two rear passengers.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto[]
It has a fairly average top speed, but great acceleration as well as reasonable handling and durability.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Brigham is a very slow car, and is generally comparable to the Eudora in terms of driving characteristics. Its top speed is rather low, and it has slow acceleration meaning it takes a long time to get there. Its handling is very sluggish, exhibiting significant understeer at low speed. It leans significantly during hard cornering, though it is rather stable and easy to control. Its brakes are decent for such a large vehicle, and it is also a very heavy car, making it superior at pushing and ramming other vehicles. Overall, drivers should take note of the slow acceleration as well as the sluggish and unresponsive steering, especially at low speeds.
Installing any Roof Accessory option will increase its traction slightly, in the same way as a spoiler.

Locations[]
Grand Theft Auto[]
- The Brigham can only be seen driving around Vice City. It is featured in five missions. It mission Bent Cop Blues - Phone 7, the player has to collect a bank robber by a Brigham, and take him to a garage of Samuel Deever. In mission Bent Cop Blues - Phone 9, the protagonist has to distribute drugs using two Brighams. In mission Bent Cop Blues - Phone 10, violent protesters attack the Limousine of the player and his passenger in the yard of the abortion clinic, blocking the exit by two Brighams. In mission Bent Cop Blues - Phone 11, the player has to steal a Brigham of the Rastas, and go to the car dealership yard to demolish a lot of vehicles. In mission Rasta Blasta - Phone 12, the protagonist has to collect Judge Alberts by a bomb-fitted Brigham, and then kill him. All mission-featured Brighams are red.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Available for purchase from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $1,499,000.

- Los Santos Rock Radio
- Radio Mirror Park
- Kult FM (Enhanced Editions only)
- Vinewood Boulevard Radio (May not play due to a three station limit within the group)
Trivia[]
General[]
- The name Brigham is likely a reference to the Cadillac Brougham, which both variants of the vehicle are influenced by, with the HD Universe version resembling the 1959 Eldorado Brougham.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The "Ghost Exposed" livery appears to be based on the decals from the Ecto-1a in the 1989 movie Ghostbusters II.
Oversights[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The siren/emergency lights of the Roof Accessories are non-functional.
- Neither the "Secondary Ribbed Hood" option nor the "Primary Chrome Ribbed Hood" one features the Albany badge.
- The left side mirror of the "Primary Stock Mirrors" option is slightly lifted.
