Hello again people! Welcome back to the automobile history channel… Today we discuss the 50s and both sides of two coins… The moonshine runners and the police force trying to stop them!
Context: (ALTERNATE HISTORY!)
It’s 1950s and the Gasmia is trying to break down the moonshine supplies around it’s country, therefore a taskforce for the state troopers formed with the main focus being to chase and apprehend these misfits. Meanwhile these runners, connected to mobs and powerful connections, modified their cars which gave them the edge over the law…
Task for you guys:
There are two fields to submit cars for and both are optional!
-
Police cars:
A four door sedan with a capable engine and high practicality and drivability…
-
Runner’s cars:
A car modified to carry heavy amounts of liquor, fast, drivable and sportiness…

7 days to discuss rules! Till 29th of May
The runners only need 2 seats - they may use a truck for their smuggling duties - but only on an actual 2-door regular-cab truck; for realism’s sake, 2-door coupes and 4-door sedans should have at least 4 and 5 full-sized seats each, respectively.
hence why the choice has been left open to you guys! that’s not limited
How complex or simple do the police liveries have to be?
Automation is not the easiest tool to make liveries with, but have fun with em, minimal requirement is just it saying police and a blue color…
Please tell me we can use al-rilma…

So model and trim years should be '55?
Oh yeah, Trim only, not model…
My mistake… Model can be older
why blue police livery? Gasmea is based mainly on america, and america had mainly black and white liveries (afaik).
also, in police inspirations last car is Moskvich, which is Soviet Union car. and previous one is too compact for america
So lore wise, it’s an alternate history and these are meant to be a special task force, an early highspeed unit of some sort… so wanted to differentiate them from the normal black and white. you can use any shade of blue, meaning a dark blue to a light blue (like New york liveries)…
As for the Moskowhich, it’s meant for you guys feeling comfortable with using European designs! The taskforce is not strict to US inspired cars… what ever body choice, as long as it meets the practicality and seat count requirements, it’s fine…
just to clarify. this means - fastest, right?
the lower number is the better.

is this on the Beta or is it Stable release?
Stable version, sorry, forgot to mention. added to the rules…
Is the livery supposed to say “Police” or is something like this allowed?
Honestly, go with what you got, i do like that style already tho. No required department as long as it says Police, Troopers or Sheriff on it

Is there a requirement or preference for tyre choice? ie, All-Terrain? Medium Compound?
Since there’s a offroad requirement, i left it open, cause a lot of people probably don’t want to make a 4x4 lorry, but also want something that has a good drivability. It’s open what i mean to say
