The Washington features a generally boxy but then contemporary design resulting in the car being one of the newest cars at the time of GTA Vice City's and GTA Vice City Stories' 1980s settings. The colors of the car are varied, with up to eight sprayable colors. For GTA San Andreas, the car remains largely similar, with the exception of wider headlight clusters, a modified front grille and rear light clusters that light up as a whole at night. While similar to the GTA Vice City rendition, the GTA Vice City Stories Washington sports additional side trims derived from the [[FBI Washington]], implying the FBI Washington's vehicle model was used in place of GTA Vice City's original Washington model. | The Washington features a generally boxy but then contemporary design resulting in the car being one of the newest cars at the time of GTA Vice City's and GTA Vice City Stories' 1980s settings.

In GTA IV, the [[Albany]] Washington is based on the [[:wp:Lincoln Town Car#2003 | In GTA IV, the [[Albany]] Washington is based on the [[:wp:Lincoln Town Car#2003 facelift|2003-2011 Lincoln Town Car]] while the headlights and grille have a slight resemblance to a [[:wp:Ford Taurus (fifth generation)|2008-2009 Ford Taurus]]. The body style is based off of the [[wp:Ford Panther platform|Ford "Panther" platform]], which the Lincoln Town Car, Ford Crown Victoria, and Mercury Grand Marquis were built on. It features "Executive" badging, much like some Town Cars. The rear portion of the car mainly represents the [[:wp:Ford Crown Victoria#Second generation (1998–2011)|1998-2011 Ford Crown Victoria]], evidenced by the shape of the trunk lid with the taillights being a slight hint to the car as well. The rim design is taken from those of the 1998-2002 Crown Victoria LX. | ||
