The Oceanic is a four-door sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Description
Designed after 1950s-'60s car designs, the Oceanic resembles a 1962 Dodge 880 Custom, while the paint scheme is reminiscent of an 1955 Oldsmobile 88. Note that the Glendale also combines 1961 Dodge and 1955 GM vehicles, possibly suggesting that they share a manufacturer or are somehow related. The car the Glendale is based off of, the 1961 Dodge Polara, also bears a striking resemblance to the Oceanic in its grille and front fascia due to the fact that the real life car shares these components with the 880 Custom. In GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, the Oceanic is always seen with a two-tone paint job, white with another color along the side and rear, a style typical of mid-'50s cars; in GTA Vice City Stories, the car is also seen with a single body color.

Performance
The Oceanic only has a moderate top speed, but it has great handling and torque. It is widely available in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, but in GTA San Andreas it is less common. In GTA San Andreas, the Oceanic can be seen driven by members of the Los Santos Vagos, and as such, the Oceanic becomes extremely rare after the player has taken over all of their gang territory.
Car modification (GTA San Andreas)
- Color (two areas)
- Wheels (ten types)
- Nitro (three types)
- Bass Boost
- Hydraulics
Variant
The Oceanic's design serves as the basis of one of two Bloodring Bangers in GTA Vice City, featuring tweaked handling and performance and a modified body design. Unlike its counterpart, the Glendale-based Bloodring Banger, the Oceanic-based variant is not carried over to GTA San Andreas.
