Design[]
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]
The car is based on a custom 1938 DeSoto Six, which has been modified into a hot rod, complete with low ground clearance, wider wheels, a chopped rooftop, flaming paintjob, and a red interior.
This vehicle is one of the 16 vehicles wanted by Love Media for their Car-azy Car Give Away.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]
Performance-wise, the car has great acceleration and a good top speed. However, the car lacks grip, resulting in less responsive cornering (the latter occasionally leads to the car sliding out of control), but compensates with good brakes.
