Rare Vehicles	comment	It is sometimes the case that cars, ships, and aircraft that were historically rare, introduced later or got no farther than the prototype stage are shown as used in a particular setting. This may be in an alternate history, but is invariably motivated by the Rule of Cool. May sometimes be an accusation of Just Plane Wrong or Artistic License – Ships. Could also be an Improbably Cool Car or a case of Metallicar Syndrome, but those aren't necessarily rare. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })May also be a form of Product Placement as well, in which case you'd have to accuse the vehicle producers. Compare Rare Guns, which is the same trope applied to firearms. An inverse of this is when vehicles which were common in their day have since become rare enough that their absence in a Period Piece instantly marks it as such. This is particularly common with cars that sold well but developed a The Alleged Car reputation while lacking the sort of style and/or driving dynamics that would make someone want to preserve one. There should be far more Chevy Chevettes and Chrysler K-cars in Stranger Things than the producers can arrange for. With military vehicles this can happen if something any Backed by the Pentagon production could get while it was in service is dismantled and destroyed rather than auctioned off after it's withdrawn.

Rare Vehicles / int_13f21e09	comment	Company of Heroes has the Pershing tank available to allied forces in Normandy in June 1944. Historically, it did not see action until February 1945. Its expansion pack "Opposing Fronts" features a Tiger Recovery Vehicle, of which exactly ONE was ever used in real life, and experts debate if it even had the power required to tow a tank. There's also the Henschel Hs-129 B3 attack aircraft, of which only 25 were ever produced; the player can call a bunch of them every ten seconds if there's enough resources stockpiled.

Rare Vehicles / int_1b604019	comment	Area 88 pulls this off on multiple occasions. The specific instances depend on whether it's the anime, manga, or OVA. In all cases, it's thanks to the base quartermaster McCoy, who has boasted he can get anyone what they want so long as they have the money. Shin Kazama in particular has a thing for planes that are hard to come by. His first plane seen in the manga and OVA is an F-8 Crusader — which, by the 1970s (the time frame in which Area 88 takes place), few nations owned combat-ready examples of. The 2003 remake actually used this as a plot point; the Crusader that another one-shot character was flying was getting so old that it wasn't really safe to fly anymore, which ends up costing said character his life, and it's implied that Shin's aircraft would have the same problem before long. Shin's third plane (or fifth if you count the times he flew a Kfir and Eagle) in the manga, the Saab 35 Draken, has McCoy go into detail about the difficulty of procuring one for Shin. As he explains, the Draken was already out of production. He bought two scrapped Finnish Drakens and salvaged their airframes to build a new plane, then bought an afterburner from a used parts company in Germany, and a new engine from the Netherlands. It was actually easier for McCoy to procure Mickey's F-14 than it was the Draken. Shin's third plane in the OVA, the F-20 Tigershark, was an advanced variant of the F-5E Tiger II (his second plane, incidentally) that never made it into production, so short of McCoy procuring the one of the three prototypes that didn't crash, or the half-finished fourth, there's no realistic way he should have had one at a mercenary air base in a middle-of-nowhere Middle Eastern country. Rebuilding an F-5E into an F-20 would be an even less plausible explanation; it was an adaptation of the F-5 design, not a conversion of existing airframes. Mickey's iconic F-14 is a borderline example, since it was predominantly used by the United States Navy, and the only country it was exported to was Iran until the Iranian Revolution overthrew the US-friendly government. This actually got used as the justification for McCoy procuring one; through some underhanded dealing, he managed to procure one of the Iranian F-14s caught in the embargo ("But it's all legal on paper!" as he says in the manga).

But if they are the originals, Kuromorimine definitely hit this trope with their use of the Panzer VIII Maus. Only one fully operational unit was ever built along with a second, turretless main body. The surviving unit is actually a combination of the two prototypes, mating the turret from the complete model with the turretless second unit, the complete version's main body being damaged and unable to be salvaged.

The Brotherhood of Nod in the Tiberium-series games likewise seem to have access to the Comanche, as the first true boss battle of Command & Conquer: Renegade pits you against one. Its presence here could work as a demonstration of how fast the game verse's technology advanced thanks to Tiberium, though - the original game established that Nod's arsenal was primarily made up of designs that had been abandoned by modern militaries... but which were cutting-edge at the time of the game's release, like the F-22.

The space shuttles require ridiculous amounts of upkeep, so the idea that one would still be in working order so far in the future is a fair strain on believability. But never underestimate the power of an obsessed geek (see also: TV Tropes).note The person who owned the Columbia is the person who hand built Spike's ship, the Swordfish. The shuttle is also extensively modified, being capable of taking off from a runway and entering outer space on its own, needing only several RATO bottles to get off the ground rather than the massive boosters and external fuel tank that it would conventionally need.

Entire squadrons of the above aircraft have turned up on numerous occasions. In addition, four games have featured the XB-70 Valkyrie (two prototypes) and three Iowa-class battleships (four built) turned up in the space of two games. In the game's defense, it is an Alternate Universe with completely different geography, history and political circumstances to the modern day. Of course, this begs the question of why they're using the exact same aircraft as our world.

The enormous cost and time it takes to build capital ships means something as large as a battleship may only have a production run of 2 to 4 units per class. Even so, a few "paper" ships make it through for the sake of balancing out the various nation's tech trees. Especially the German and Japanese navies, who couldn't build many of their late-war designs due to deteriorating industrial conditions as the Allies overran them. A few of the destroyers like the Shimkaze, Tashkent, and Błyskawica count as destroyers were usually made in sets larger than ten and sometimes multiple hundred per class. The first two were the only examples build of their planned classes, where the last one from a two ship class.

In at least one example, a character mentions how "cherry" a vintage car is, despite them being very popular around town. "Cherry" in car-guy terms means a particularly well-preserved or well-customized example. Rarity has nothing to do with it - a late model Civic can be "cherry". But played straight in A Dame to Kill For, where Damien Lord owns a Tucker 48, which is stolen by Marv and used as the getaway car (abandoning Dwight's Mustang in the process).

Rare Vehicles / int_7f51ba9e	comment	In Paradox Bound, Harry drives a Ford Model A (the one that replaced the Model T, not Ford's first attempt at car manufacturing), modified to use a Garrett electrolytic carburetor (allowing it to run on water), among other things (higher top speed, much smoother ride). When asked by Eli why she drives a Model A instead of a much newer vehicle, Harry explains that since she constantly "skids" around American history, an older car won't attract any more attention than any other classic car, while a futuristic car would be very noticeable in, say, the 1930s. Besides, any car past 1975 is way too complicated for a private owner to maintain, especially in time periods before modern electronics. Eli also expresses doubt about the carburetor, pointing out that it's a myth. Harry explains that the design is actually sound, but the materials to build a working model didn't exist in Garrett's time and won't exist until the 2020s.

The Horten Ho-IX fighter jet and Me 264 heavy bomber, are available in the main German tech tree even though both existed only as prototypes. Likewise, players can also unlock the American Super Pershing, a modified M-26 Pershing with a bigger gun and welded-on metal slabs for armor. Yet the German E-100 super-heavy tank takes the cake for being in the rarest both in reality and in-game as sole real-life prototype was only partially built and is available in-game as a limited tournament prize

Rare Vehicles / int_989298d3	comment	World of Tanks IS this trope. The tanks range from extensively used (M4 Sherman, T-34), to somewhat obscure (KV heavy tank, T-28), to rare (M2 medium, Pzkpfw II Luchs), to tanks that only had a few prototypes made (Maus superheavy-one made, T1 Heavy). Every tank in this game existed in some way shape or form, even if only in blueprints (E-50)...except for some tanks that are completely fictional. For example: Waffenträger auf E 100, which is completely fictional, though its separate components (E-100 and the 150mm autoloading AA gun) does exist. For more information, check these links out. For convenience, this Google Doc made by forum users compiles information on how rare each vehicle is. The tank descriptions in the game do honestly mention that many of them never got off the drawing board. Since the Pershing is classified as a medium tank, there isn't a single American heavy tank that was ever used in combat during World War II. The Japanese Heavy line. Imperial Japan never had the materials nor the Industrial capacity necessary to manufacture Heavy Tanks in any sort of appreciable numbers. This didn't stop WarGaming from introducing a Heavy Tank Branch in the Japanese Tech Tree for Patch 9.10 since they've somehow managed to find a sufficient amount of data and blueprints on their VERY obscure projects. World of Warplanes is following suit, with, for instance, the XF5U "Flying Flapjack" and the Me.P.1102 World of Warships doesn't suffer as bad since many Real Life warships really are rare. The enormous cost and time it takes to build capital ships means something as large as a battleship may only have a production run of 2 to 4 units per class. Even so, a few "paper" ships make it through for the sake of balancing out the various nation's tech trees. Especially the German and Japanese navies, who couldn't build many of their late-war designs due to deteriorating industrial conditions as the Allies overran them. A few of the destroyers like the Shimkaze, Tashkent, and Błyskawica count as destroyers were usually made in sets larger than ten and sometimes multiple hundred per class. The first two were the only examples build of their planned classes, where the last one from a two ship class.

Special mention must go to the 1999 Dodge Charger, a concept car that was never put into production and probably shouldn't be in the hands of street racers. What makes this notable is that the car had been retired before the game came out in 2005, and it remains its only video game appearance to date. Los Angeles continues the tradition with the concept versions of the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 and Chevrolet Camaro as well as the Ford Shelby Cobra Concept. The first two even have special editions.

Its presence here could work as a demonstration of how fast the game verse's technology advanced thanks to Tiberium, though - the original game established that Nod's arsenal was primarily made up of designs that had been abandoned by modern militaries... but which were cutting-edge at the time of the game's release, like the F-22.

Rare Vehicles / int_d68df17d	comment	On Top Gear, the presenters occasionally get prototypes or limited edition models to test. The rarest thus far was a black Ferrari FXX, already one of only 30 in the world, custom-built for Michael Schumacher, who is also the only one allowed to drive it. Clarkson did a test of the Pagani Zonda Tricolore, which, at the time the review was recorded, was the only one in the world. Even now, only 3 exist. During a retrospect on Ferrari's GTO line of cars, Clarkson introduced the 250 GTO; one of only 39 built and is currently the world's most valuable car. He remarked that the BBC - who have previously footed the bill for letting Top Gear acquire a quite respectable space-lift capability - couldn't afford the insurance for Clarkson to even get in it. They also had a prototype diesel Vauxhall/Opel Astra hatchback in their lot during the tractor challenge, which had an encounter with a flatbed: May was allowed to drive the six wheeled 2004 Ford Thunderbird used in the live-action Thunderbirds film (sponsored by Ford) through a small village. Technically, every Morris Marina. Out of over 807,000 made, only 745 are still on the road in the UK (well, 741; they burned one and dropped pianos on three others* it also wasn't a major export success, with the US distributor taking well into summer 1975 to sell the last of the '74 models). It is officially the most scrapped car in British history over the past thirty years. In series 21 Hammond drives the Mercedes G63 6x6, a prototype six wheeled civilian model of an Australian military vehicle; at the time of recording only two existed.

Rare Vehicles / int_d779e1ad	comment	Any number of WW2 strategy games, turn-based and otherwise, feature the Jagdtiger. Only a maximum of 88 were built. A few go even further and feature the Sturmtiger, of which there were only eighteen production models built, with the only documented uses being during the Warsaw Uprising and Ardennes Offensive, or the Maus (one prototype, one technology demonstrator with a false turret), abandoned on the road when it ran out of gas 20km before reaching the front. The absolute king of this trope is Steel Panthers: World At War, which includes such obscure vehicles as the German "Dicker Max" panzerjager (two built, one destroyed by the time they were retired in 1943; even the Germans thought it was too advanced for the time) and the American "Super Pershing" (twenty-five built, only one arriving in Europe).
