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).

A minor particularity of Romero's Hearse | A minor particularity of the Romero's Hearse 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. | ||
