Death car[1] is a vehicle in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background
The death car was a vehicle owned by Vikki and Vance, and used during their "crime spree". The player can hear the story of Vikki and Vance by consulting Primm Slim in the Vikki and Vance Casino. Slim's account implies that Vikki and Vance were in fact small-time white collar criminals.[2] Despite this, they were apparently considered notable before the war since the Vikki and Vance Casino, which seems to be a pre-War building.
Somewhat more, the death of Vikki and Vance in the death car was an accident, as they drove into a shoot-out between police and some bank robbers.[3] After they were killed, the car was put on display at the Vikki and Vance Casino, it is still there by 2281.
Characteristics
The death car is a dark blue color, slightly rusted at several points, with popped tires and broken headlights. The car also has large, flared wheel arches, popular with cars in the 1930s. It has four doors, which are all riddled with bullet holes and it sports a rather large grille at the front.
Appearances
The death car appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
Like the "death car" display for Vikki and Vance, there is a tourist display of the car real-life criminal couple Bonnie and Clyde were driving when they were ambushed and killed. The car is on display at Whiskey Pete's Casino in Primm, Nevada.
