Highwayman (Fallout 2)

Highwayman was a car model manufactured by Chryslus Motors in pre-War USA.

Background
An American icon, the Chryslus Motors Highwayman was once renowned for its high performance and durability. "Nothing can stop a Highwayman" was a phrase familiar to most drivers. The motto still holds true today.

Towns in the post-apocalyptic world don't allow motor vehicles on their streets, citing something about aged fuel cells exploding. The Highwayman has to be parked on the outskirts of town.

Overview
The Highwayman uses an electric motor that can be charged with either microfusion cells or small energy cells. It has a sizable trunk, a fuel cell controller and spacious interior able to accommodate at least seven people, even the tallest of people (including at least one super mutant, robobrain and deathclaw in the same group).

Fallout 2
The Highwayman is the only working vehicle usable by the Chosen One in Fallout 2. It can support their entire party, from Marcus to Skynet. That particular Highwayman can be found in the The Den. Its missing part, the fuel cell controller, could be found in Gecko.

The battery can be charged with either microfusion or small energy cells. A full pack of SEC (40) charges it up 20%, a full pack of MFC (50) charges it up 50%. To refuel the car, hover the "interaction" cursor over the Highwayman, use the "bag" icon from the drop-down menu and choose the respective energy cells. The Highwayman has also a trunk where items can be stored, with a sizable 22-cubic feet capacity.

Upgrades
It can be upgraded throughout the game with several items:
 * Fuel cell regulator from Klamath (Found after going to the end of the Rat Caves in Trapper Town), doubles mileage. Installed by Smitty.
 * Blower in NCR, improves speed. Installed by Ratch.
 * Three upgrades in the Chop Shop in New Reno which include speed, trunk space and a final speed enhancement.
 * T-Ray's grav plates after completion of the game. Obtainable by having your car stolen after you blow up the Oil Rig, without having it stolen prior to this.

Behind the scenes

 * It was mentioned in the Fallout Bible that the Highwayman was originally going to have two large fuel tanks in the back.
 * There is a weapon in Fallout 3 known as the Highwayman's Friend. This weapon is a reference to this vehicle as the weapon is a unique tire iron.
 * A wrecked Highwayman can be found in Fallout: New Vegas, with references to the same one the Chosen One drove.
 * The Highwayman's design appears to be heavily influenced (as in being nearly identical) by the real-life Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, produced in 1953–1966.

Bugs

 * In towns (e.g. New Reno), the trunk can be separated from the Highwayman and is located in different sections of town.
