'55 Vapid Stanier in GTA 6

Field Assessment

The Stanier has been moving through Leonida in one form or another since before most of the people driving it were born. The '55 variant is the starting point. Two-tone body panels, chrome front end, and proportions that belong to the era when American car design was more interested in presence than aerodynamics.

Shore Court comes with it. Personal garage, weapon locker, and stolen goods storage — everything needed to set up in Vice City without sourcing it separately. The Stanier is the pre-order bonus for all editions, which makes it the first vehicle confirmed for every player who locked in before launch.

The trunk question is a Leonida tradition. Vapid built it big in 1955 and nobody since has seen a reason to ask what it was for.
