Field Assessment
The Buccaneer is the classic American luxury car in Vice City. The Cadillac Eldorado generation: long, low, chrome-trimmed, and built at the moment when American cars were the global standard for what a luxury automobile should look like. In present-day Leonida the Buccaneer is either a museum piece or a cultural reference depending on who is driving it.
The Vice City context gives the Buccaneer a specific relevance. A city that built its identity during the era this car was designed for keeps the car as part of its cultural identity. The Buccaneer in Vice City is not a novelty. It is a continuity.
The handling reflects the era. Soft, comfortable, and designed for a type of road that Vice City still has in its older districts. The Buccaneer is not a performance vehicle. It is a statement vehicle for the statement that requires this much wheelbase.
