So here's an overall one about the cars in the games;

The in-game prewar company called "Chryslus Motors" is a reference to the real-world company Chrysler Motors. They produce two car models; The Corvega and Highwayman.
The Corvega brandname is a combination of two Chevrolet cars, the Corvair and the Vega.
The Highwayman is likely another nod to the post-apocalyptic Mad Max movies. The Chosen One from Fallout 2 can obtain a drivable Highwayman, with a blower sticking out of the car's hood, and was originally going to have two-fuel tanks in the trunk, much like Mad Max's V8 Interceptor from Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
In New Vegas, a Wrecked Highwayman can be found half submerged in mud. Upon finding it, two background songs from Fallout 2 ("My Chrysalis Highwayman" or "Gold Slouch") will play, and the trunk is filled with Energy ammunition, making it a nod towards the Highwayman in Fallout 2, which used Energy ammo as a fuel source. The original idea for this encounter came from J.E. Sawyer, who originally planned it for the cancelled Van Buren game, which would have included the Tanker FOB in the trunk from Fallout 2.
