In GTA Vice City, Romero's Hearse resembles an '80s Buick Superior Hearse (in turn based on a 1977–1984 [[wp:Buick Electra|Buick Electra]]). In GTA San Andreas, it resembles a late '70s Cadillac hearse, sporting a wider range of colors for the roof and body (although generally maintain dark tones). Renditions in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas may also come with a coffin at the back (appearing with one of two or three different designs). | In GTA Vice City, Romero's Hearse resembles an '80s Buick Superior Hearse (in turn based on a 1977–1984 [[wp:Buick Electra|Buick Electra]]).

A minor particularity of Romero's Hearse's in GTA Vice City is its ability to carry four occupants (two in front and two at the back) like a four-door car; however, the back passengers are both seated in the middle of the rear compartment in front of the front of any coffin, effectively merging their bodies together as they ride along in the car. Renditions of the hearse after GTA Vice City are only capable of holding two occupants. | A minor particularity of Romero's Hearse's in GTA Vice City is its ability to carry four occupants (two in front and two at the back) like a four-door car; however, the back passengers are both "seated" in the middle of the rear compartment in front of the front of any coffin (although there are no rear seats), effectively merging their bodies together as they ride along in the car. Renditions of the hearse after GTA Vice City are only capable of holding two occupants. This is most evident during "[[Two Bit Hit]]", when the fleeing Haitian ganglord rides at the back of the car. | ||
The GTA IV rendition of the Romero is a modified version of the [[Washington]] sedan, and as such, bears the [[Albany]] brand. However, the vehicle lacks a coffin, aside one mission ("[[Undertaker]]"). | The GTA IV rendition of the Romero is a modified version of the [[Washington]] sedan, and as such, bears the [[Albany]] brand.
