LA Noire cars list: How to get hidden vehicles and regular vehicles

How to get different rides around 1940s LA.

LA Noire cars allow you to explore 1940s Los Angeles in something other than your regular squad car.

Along with the main collectibles there are also 15 hidden vehicles and a variety of outfits to unlock, but unlike the other collectibles these are trickled out as a consequence of levelling up, so it's not so much a case of hunting them down, more a case of waiting for them to come to you.

If you're interested in help elsewhere, our LA Noire guide and walkthrough is well worth a visit.

How to get hidden vehicles in LA Noire

There are two types of vehicle in the game: regular, and hidden. Hidden vehicles will be marked on your map every time you reach a new rank - set a waypoint to their location and look for the garage door marked "Angel City Security".

LA Noire regular vehicles list

Regular vehicles are a little trickier to collect a completer set of; obtaining them relies a lot on luck, and many of them look similar so it can be hard to know which ones you have and which ones you don't - the only method we've found is to just get in every car you see and hope it's a new on.

There are 80 to be found, so it's going to take a while...
