Driving Paradise— Corvega Slogan Fallout 3 & New Vegas billboards.

The Corvega was a line of car models manufactured by Chryslus Motors in pre-War USA.

Overview

There were at least four models in this line produced by Chryslus Motors before the Great War. The exact year when the first Corvega was available is still unknown, but it was already available for purchase in 2056.[1]

In the 2060s, soon after Canada was annexed, an original Corvega cost "only" $199,999.99. This further corroborates speculation of rapid and dramatic inflation in the decades leading up to the Great War, since these vehicles are found throughout the Core Region and both the Capital and Mojave Wastelands. Other products, such as Giddyup Buttercup and the Vault-Tec vaults themselves, carried similarly hefty price tags.

Notes

  • Several four-door Corvegas can be found in the Tranquility Lane simulation in Fallout 3. Like the rest of the simulation, they appear as they did before the war.
  • A four-door Corvega in pre-War condition can be found on the maintenance level of mothership Zeta in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.
  • A miniature four-door Corvega can be found on a desk in Allistair Tenpenny's penthouse in Tenpenny Tower.
  • If the player purchases the Pre-War Theme for the Tenpenny Tower Suite, there is also a miniature four-door Corvega next to a model house sitting on a side table.
  • In Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, if a Corvega (like any other vehicles) is hit by gunfire and still has its reactor, it may catch fire and explode shortly afterwards with an small nuclear explosion similar to that of a mini nuke detonating.

Behind the scenes

  • The symbol on the hood of the four-door Corvega is similar to the chevron used on Chevrolet vehicles in the 1950s.
  • The name Corvega is a portmanteau of two notorious Chevrolet car models: the Corvair and the Vega.
