“Clean, quiet, and efficient. That's the Corvega way.”— Corvega C.A.M.P. Bundle motto
Chryslus Corvega was a brand of American automobiles and a marquee division of Chryslus Motors Corporation[1] prior to the Great War that produced several commercial-use cars and construction equipment.
Overview[]
Corvega was the flagship brand of Chryslus Motors that dates back to as early as 2056,[2] and one of the dominant forces on the automotive market after the resource crisis rendered combustion engines largely extinct.[Non-game 1] In the 2070s, Chryslus would release a broad line of electric, fission, and fusion Corvega automobiles available in a variety of different models.[Non-game 2]
The price of a fully analog model of Corvega in 2077 was $199,999.99;[3] despite that, the model was extremely popular. However, despite their popularity, their standards of manufacture seemed to have deteriorated, with coupes manufactured in 2077 having a tendency to leak coolant.[4] Even so, Corvega vehicles remained widespread in the U.S. up until the Great War, including being used as taxicabs in Los Angeles, California.[5]

Notes[]
- Some Corvega vehicles, as well as other vehicles, can still be found around the wasteland relatively intact. In Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76, some cars still have an intact reactor and can be destroyed. These can be distinguished by a more pristine paint job and having intact doors. When these cars are damaged by gunfire or melee weapons, a small explosion can be heard and fire can be seen towards the front of the car. This is a warning that the car is about to explode. With less health or protection, the player character can be instantly killed by the car explosion.
- Several Corvega sedans can be found in the Tranquility Lane simulation in Fallout 3. Like the rest of the simulation, they appear as they did pre-War, without rust, and with a complete paint job.
- A four-door Corvega in pre-War condition can be found on the maintenance level of Mothership Zeta in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta. Unlike the other pristine examples, its windows are not transparent.
- A model sedan Corvega can be found on a desk in Allistair Tenpenny's penthouse in Tenpenny Tower. However, it is unobtainable.
- If the player character purchases the pre-War theme for the Tenpenny Tower suite, there is also a model Corvega sedan next to a model house sitting on a side table.
- All of the intact Corvegas[clarification needed] only have door handles on the driver side, with the ones on the passenger side missing. This is likely a developer oversight as the wrecked version does have door handles on the remaining passenger door.
- Many times,[clarification needed] ruined automobiles such as the Corvega are found with suitcases in the back, despite the area being used to mount a nuclear reactor.
Appearances[]
Corvegas appear in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and the Fallout TV series.
Behind the scenes[]
- The symbol on the hood of the sedan, flying car, and Corvega Blitz is the same as the one that can be found on several Chevrolet vehicles from the 1950s, including the 1957 "Bel-Air."
- The name Corvega is a portmanteau of two Chevrolet car models: the Corvette and the Vega.The Corvette half of the name comes from the fact that the first model of Corvega seen in "Fallout" strongly resembles the first generation Corvette and the Corvette Mako Shark concept car.
- Despite being produced by the Chryslus Corporation, a nod to the Chrysler Corporation, the Corvega is meant to be a Chevrolet car. The Atomic V-8 sedan model from Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 appears to resemble the General Motors Le Sabre, while the model from Fallout shares many design and styling features with both the first generation 1950's Chevrolet Corvette as well as the Corvette Mako Shark.
- Fallout 4's rendition of the Atomic V-8 sedan is inspired by design cues from 1950's Lincoln and Edsel sedan models from the front fascia and resembles the Buick XP-300 from the sides and rear fascia.
- The coupe seen only in Fallout 4 strongly resembles the Desoto Adventurer II concept car.
- The Highwayman appears to have been simply named a Corvega at some point and the name is still used to refer to it as such at several points in the game. For example, the broken Highwayman in Klamath is identified as a Corvega, even in its script and listing: "{410}{}{Corvega} # Kscorveg.int; Klamath broken car with fuel injection"
