Behind the scenes

 * The idea to place a wrecked Highwayman in Van Buren and subsequently New Vegas came from Joshua Sawyer. It is a direct reference to the Chosen One's Highwayman in Fallout 2. The energy weapon ammunition in the trunk is a nod to the common practice of storing such items as spare Highwayman fuel in Fallout 2.
 * The wrecked Highwayman that was supposed to appear in Van Buren would have had a trunk full of microfusion cells and a Tanker FOB.
 * Chris Avellone also expanded upon this stating it was just the trunk, reflecting the bug commonly seen in Fallout 2.
 * Upon finding the wrecked Highwayman, "Gold Slouch" from the Fallout 2 soundtrack will begin to play.
 * Despite the fact that the car is labeled as a Highwayman, the vehicle more closely resembles a Corvega.
