What options are there for some 28mm civilian vehicles such as regular passenger cars, light transports or light trucks. They can be wheeled or anti-grav. This is to go with Foundry's Street Violence or Copplestone's Future Wars line.

They can be Sci-Fi or "Near Future" style, even contemporary designs like what we can see on the streets now are ok.

Old Crow has wheeled and hover trucks as does whoever is marketing GZG's 25mm line.
Antenociti has a very nice car.
I know there are others but I am drawing a blank at the moment.

Hope that helps.

I've got a couple of the Old Crow vehicles, a pickup and a car. They are very nice. I think Mirliton has some also, but I haven't bought any.

1/43 scale toy cars can be a good for near future cars.

Check more fancifuly designed young-child toys as well. Often times the exagerated dimensions can look quite futuristic. I made a 28mm futuristic dumptruck from a Fisher Price "Geotrax" dumptruck.

If you need a ton of them, and don't mind paper, you might try these from World Works:

On another forum (see link below) I saw someone had used these with his 28mm post apoc stuff. Might work not to pricey

I love paper models if they are well designed, and World Works stuff is always great. Those are exactly what I'm looking for!

Mel Ebbles paper grav-cars are great. World Works are awesome for carrying his stuff. He has some other models he was talking about, but hasn't finished and placed them up for sale yet.

The old GZG 25mm vehicles are now produced by Daemonscape:
daemonscape.com/index.html

There are some civilian-type vehicles in there

Antenociti has quite a few, they're just in two different places on the webstore.

I don't think Grendel has been mentioned yet? Only two strictly civilian-looking vehicles there, although obviously in the right conditions pretty much anything without too many weapons would pass for a civilian vehicle.

Grendel stuff is a bit on the small side these days tho, it's more at "true 25mm" than at "heroic 28mm".
