A Willard Marbelle, rear view

The Marbelle is a vehicle exclusively available in Grand Theft Auto IV, produced by automotive manufacturer Willard. It is a four-door, rear wheel drive sedan found throughout Liberty City, but most commonly in Broker It is driven by various characters in cutscenes, most notably by Vlad Glebov, who owns a blue one.

Overview

The Marbelle's performance is average in all aspects. It's performance is comparable to the Emperor, though its marginally smaller size results in slightly superior handling and a little less body roll. The Marbelle has slightly higher ground clearance than most sedans, so its no problem to drive over curbs.

The Marbelle's styling is reminiscent of various late 70s-early 80s American sedans. The car most closely resembles a 1981–1989 Lincoln Town Car, but the taillights are much closer to a 1975-1980 Town car. The front bumper, windows and roof pillars from the (North American) 1975-1980 Ford Granadas; and the grille are closer to the 1981–1982 Granadas; there are also vents surrounding the headlights much like from the 1975-1977 Granadas. The name may come from the Granada since they are both places in Spain (Marbelle is not quite Marbella though).

After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Marbelle fetching $1,500.

Locations

You can find one in an underground parking garage in Lancaster, Algonquin northwest of the East Borough Bridge (two blocks east of Middle Park).
Often found being driven around Bohan, Dukes, and Broker.
