Romero
The Romero is a hearse that is available for player use since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and has subsequently appeared in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV.
In GTA Vice City, it is named Romero’s Hearse and is only available on one mission; where the player has to obtain the vehicle. It is a fast car, and can fit two people inside. Otherwise it is regularly parked near hospitals and morgues in GTA San Andreas and GTA Liberty City Stories under the name Hearse. One of Carl Johnsons girlfriends, Katie Zhan, has a white Romero, giving Carl the keys to you after getting to 50% from dating her.In Vice City, it looks similar to the Washington and probably resembles a Lincoln Mark VII. In Liberty City Stories, it is the hearse version of the Perennial. In GTA San Andreas, it resembles a late '70s' Cadillac hearse. The Romero is likely named for George A. Romero, the directer of the Dawn of the Dead related series of zombie movies amongst other horror movies.
The Romero has been re-designed for GTA IV, resembling a Washington sedan. The Romero features prominently in the mission "Undertaker", where Niko must drive to the funeral with Derrick McReary's/Francis McReary's coffin inside from pursuing goons. After the completion of the mission, it can be seen at the Church in Algonquin. In GTA IV the vehicle is made by the Albany vehicle manufacturer.
