There’s no explicit rule against it, so it’s up to your own discretion. But keep in mind that the detective does have some preferences; do your research.
In 1958, Davalos unveiled their first all-new car body since the 1950 Sycamore sedan. The Sybaris was a low-slung American roadster with a standard 305 cubic inch V8 and a four-on-the-floor transmission, designed to compete against luxurious European convertibles with a distinctly kitschy American flair.
The Sybaris was in production until 1963, where it was replaced by the more successful Pyrausta nameplate.
The Belfast is an affordable compact car that was designed to get the American people moving. Bogliq’s six cylinder and V8 cars were competitive in the marketplace but the Liberty 8 was too small for specialty buyers, such as police fleets and street racers, to take seriously. Therefore, in an ironic twist (Bogliq and Ardent were fierce market rivals), Bogliq made a deal with Toledo Ironworks for their 289ci V8, tuned for reliable street performance.
The result was a Belfast that was quick, handled well and had an excellent top speed. Coupled with it’s low purchase price, the performance of the 289DB was highly coveted and private buyers looking for a performance bargain ensured that, new or secondhand, the Belfast 289DB wasn’t ownerless for long!
Special thanks to @VicVictory for supplying his badass 289 Police Pursuit and providing accuracy feedback on my Belfast design.
