1. Timeline: TL-191 (with Dave's post-SGW continuation in mind)
2. Model name/Manufacturer: Dixiemobile Mk I, aka the Dixiemobile Stalwart
3. Model types: small 3 door family economy car - an inexpensive "people's car"
4. Model year: 1936
5. Nation of origin: Confederate States of America
6. Production run: 1936-1942
7. Number built: 1 242 568 (total production run)
8. Engine: 250 cc, 1.1 L, two-stroke straight-two air-cooled engine
9. Horsepower: 13.6 hp (at 5,000 rpm)
10. Drivetrain: 2wd, rear engine rear-wheel (RR) drive
11. Transmission: 4-speed manual transaxle
12. Weight: 435 kg
13. Description: To help further restore the CSA public's faith in the recovering national economy, Jake Featherston and his cabinet decided to found the first state-owned car company. While Dixiemobile also produced military softskins for the Confederate Army during the Second Great War, all of its other products were overshadowed by Featherston's dream project of a "people's car, a motorwagon worthy of a cultured and hard-working white CSA citizen". That car was the Dixiemobile Mk I, popularly and far better known as the "Dixiemobile Stalwart". Propaganda posters of the Featherston regime hawked the midget car with the infamous line : "Save just four dollars a week, and you too can drive in a carriage this sleek !"
While the car left a lot to be desired, it was nevertheless fairly succesful in "putting the South on wheels". Over the decades, the car has shed some of its unfortunate Freedomite legacy and has become a classic. It has overgone several "enjoying it in an ironic way" revivals over the decades, by enthusiasts and businessmen alike14. OTL equivalent : Glas Goggomobil T250 in terms of appearance. However, as noted in the description, it's an (expectable) TL-191 parallel to the OTL Volkswagen Beetle (right down to the car's use as a propaganda tool).

Nice post, Petike. But it's not an exact parellel, as there's a bit of a disconnect: IOTL, Hitler, while he did, obviously, express interest in the Beetle when it was presented to, and some time later, commissioned for series production by, him(, had no part in it's creation(contrary to the beliefs of some); what was ultimately to become the Beetle was an idea going back to the Weimar era.
Sorry if it seems I'm nitpicking, btw, because it is an interesting idea.
Sorry if it seems I'm nitpicking, btw, because it is an interesting idea.
Well, I wanted it to be a more subtle and logical-in-a-NA-context parallelism (frankly, those were the better kind of parallelisms in TL-191). Still, Featherston didn't actually design the Stalwart any more than Hitler designed the Beetle. But he did lay down some of the specs. Not the numerical ones, but the general requirements for the car as an affordable "PR miracle" for the CSA.
That's a good pick, IMHO.
And I don't think it looks more old-fashioned than the OTL Beetle.Yeah, good point there.
That's a good pick, IMHO.
Seconded.

7. Number built: 25 123 968
8. Engine: 365 cc, 420 cc, 445 cc, 500 cc, H2 air-cooled (depending on the version)

12. Weight: OTL 565 kg
13. Description: The Archambault 4VT Bellerose - the simple, inexpensive, durable, versatile and dependable classic passenger car. Outside of Europe (plants in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta, Greece and elsewhere), it is also produced in several developing countries, where it is a an arguably even more popular "people's car". Many of these "tropical" versions are modified to run on lower-octane fuels or are converted to run specifically on various types of biodiesel (coconut oil being a favourite ingredient in these types of fuel). Of course, because of this, the Bellerose is extremely popular in the Kingdom of Kauai, where it belongs to one of the most frequently seen car models in general.

Description: Meet the car that could be pretty much anything anyone wants, as long as its big. The Ford Falcon is a Commonwealth icon, having been sold there since 1960, and shortly after the travel it came to Canada to replace the aged Ford Crown Victoria and tear on into the future, as well as become a motoring legend all over the world. The Falcon is most notable for the choices you have - four body styles, eight engines, four transmissions, 27 paint colors and dozens of options. Indeed, most Ford dealers have good Falcons on the lot but recommend that people design their cars to their specifications.
The car's sales were such that its initial importing from the Commonwealth was insufficient to deal with demand and the car began to be built in Canada and the United States, followed later on by also being built in Western Europe and in South Africa. The Falcon joined the slightly-smaller Taurus and Mondeo sedans, Focus and Fiesta small cars, Reflex and Mustang sports cars, Transit, Galaxy and Courier vans, Territory SUV and Bantam and Ranger pickup trucks as Ford's 'world cars', leaving just the F-150 and Super Duty pickup trucks and Explorer and Expedition SUVs as vehicles unique to North America. The Falcon became one of the cars of choice in both the Commonwealth and in North America, and while the Dodge Charger and Chevrolet Caprice would rival it in North America for the big car market, the car would go to be a huge volume seller in numerous countries.

Model Year: 2010, 2013-2021 (until 2023 in Africa)
Origin: Graz, Austria (2010), Calgary, Alberta, Canada (2013-2021), Lagos, Nigeria (2017-2023), Mulhouse, Alsace, France (2018-2021)
Engine: 1.6-liter turbocharged PSA/BMW inline-4, 2.0-liter HDi turbodiesel inline-4, 2.4-liter Yamaha V6
Power: 163 hp (turbodiesel I4) 200 hp (turbo I4), 294 hp (V6)
Drivetrain: Front-engined, front-wheel-drive
Transmission: 6-speed manual, 7-speed manual, 6-speed semiautomatic
Weight: 3,070-3,312 lbs
0-100 km/h: 8.7 sec (diesel), 7.6 sec (I4), 6.3 sec (V6)

MSRP: $35,000-$42,150
Number Produced: 114,176
Description: Peugeot-Citroen's decision to return to the Canadian market in 2007 turned out to be one of the decision that would save them - as the Travel allowed them and their designs sold in Canada at that point - the Peugeot 207 and 208 hatchbacks, 407 and 607 sedans, 5008 minivan and the RCZ sports car, as well as the Citroen C4 hatchback, C5 and C6 sedans and the C4 Picasso small van - to still be there when the travel passed. As with Renault, which had come to Canada in 2002, the French automakers thus were still around when the world changed - and like everyone else, they adapted to it, and the RCZ turned out to be a cash cow.
The handsome, fine-handling coupe proved to be an excellent flagship for the company, and sold over 114,000 units between 2010 and 2021 in the new world, especially once a Yamaha-built V6 was made available in the car in 2014 and gave the car the power it needed to exploit its fantastic chassis. Assembly, as with all PSA cars sold in North America, was restarted in Calgary, Alberta, in 2013, where they remain in production today. The RCZ was eventually joined by the SR1 in 2017, which would become its successor, but the RCZ holds the honors for helping Peugeot get re-established in the world.

Origin: Kobe, Japan

Power: 448 horsepower
Drivetrain: Front-engined, rear wheel drive
Transmission: 7-speed automatic
Weight: 6,525 lbs

Number Produced: 17
Description: There is no luxury sedan on Earth that makes a statement quite like Toyota's truly incredible Century Royal. Built specifically for the Emperor of Japan in 2013-15, the Century Royal was used to replace a fleet of aged Nissan Prince Royals and Rolls-Royces relied on before, and owing to it being a symbol of Japan in a rough time, it was built entirely with Japanese technology and design.
The first four, built in 2013-15, were built with wool cloth upholstery in the back, Japanese rice-paper headliners, granite entry steps and fine finishes, along with numerous security measures including a slight overpressure system and numerous armored car advancements, including run-flat tires, armored bumpers, bulletproof glass and electronics designed for resistance to electronic interference. The cars were quite well liked by Japan's Emperor and his family. But the story changed when American President Sarah Heath made a state visit to Japan in 2021, where Emperor Yoshihisa ordered another car built to be presented to President Heath, who did accept it. (It was used by her during her visit, and would also see use in North America.) One more car was built for King William V when he visited Japan in 2022, and as with Heath's Century Royal, it did see use in North America, most frequently used for the King's Mother, Princess Diana. After the 2025 war between the People's Republic of China and several of its neighbors, including Japan, ended in victory for the allies, the Emperor ordered eleven more cars built, which were given to the heads of state of Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Guangxi, as well as seven others instrumental in the war victory. The cars built for President Heath and King William differ in the use of high-end leather in the passenger compartment, mahogany wood trim and red granite entry steps, as well as different colors - President Heath's Toyota was painted a deep metallic red, while King William's car was painted Navy Blue. The eleven cars built for after the conflict were all built to the personal specifications of those the cars were given to.
The rarity and quality of the Century Royal is such that the cars, both in Asia and in North America, are referred to with the absolute utmost of respect, and they live up to the purposes they were created for.

Description: The Campagna T-Rex is so nuts that it almost defies any sort of description. An open three-wheeler with outrageous, aggressive bodywork and the engine from a powerful sport bike that goes really, really fast? And that's before you get to the styled versions....
The T-Rex became a major hit after the company that makes them, Campagna Company, was able to find investors for a larger-scale production facility and thus were able to lower the prices on the outrageous machine to such a degree that a lot of people could afford them - and with almost 60,000 made in the time of Campagna's ownership, it's hard to call it anything less than a success. Part of that success, of course, is the sheer speed of the thing - with a 0-60 time of less than three and a half seconds and a top speed of 260 km/h, the T-Rex would blow the doors off a lot of cars on the road quite handily, and the combination of its attributes made it both a status symbol and a handy way to get to work, so long as you had paved roads there....

Engine: Ford-Cosworth 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4
Power: 285 hp (2010-2015), 327 hp (2016-present)
Drivetrain: Mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive

MSRP: $63,600-$86,900
Number Produced: 2,558 as of 11/2025
Description: A formula racing car for the road is how BAC describes their awesome, high-tech creation, the BAC Mono. And as crazy as it sounds at first, one look at the design of the Mono and one sees that they weren't kidding with the design brief. A Cosworth-tuned Ford inline-four powers the car through a F3-spec gearbox, using racing suspension, gumball-sticky Falken tires and massive Stoptech brakes to halt it. Each car's carbon-fiber safety cell is adapted to each individual customer, and the buyer has total leeway on car choices, and each car is delivered at a road racing track so that BAC's engineers can set up its suspension to your individual preferences. It's unlike any car in the world, and its one of a number of examples of truly mad road racers for the street that hit the road in the 2010s and 2020s as car enthusiasts began to take to the driving of smaller sports cars that could deliver on the viceral thrills of driving but with smaller price tags, less fuel consumption and great driving thrills.

I never finished the description, and since I figure a hatchback version would likely not need to use a bigger engine, it keeps a 2.0L boxer

Model Name: Toyota GT-86 (Hachi-Roku)
Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada
Model Type: 2-Door Sports Coupe with a 3-Door Hatchback version as well
Model Year: 2014
Nation of Origin: Cambridge, Ontario, Canada; Asian models produced at Ōta, Gunma, Japan
Production run: 2014-present
Engine: 2.0L directed-injected Flat-4
Power: 197 hp
Drivetrain: Front-engined, rear-wheel drive
Transmission: 6-speed Manual or Automatic
Weight: Coupe: 1,180 kilograms (2,601 lb) Hatchback: 1,200 kilograms (2,646 lb)
0-100 km/h: 5.3 Seconds
Top Speed: 233 kph (145mph) (coupe)
MSRP: $23,000
Description: The Toyota GT-86 was the start of Toyota Canada's new drive towards making affordable, yet well performing cars, combining reliability with speed, aesthetics, and agility. Based off of blueprints and plans found at Toyota Canada's Cambridge plant, the GT-86 was designed as the spiritual successor to the legendary Toyota Corolla AE86, the last Toyota model with rear wheel drive. The design, originally to be made in Japan as a collaboration between Toyota and Subaru, was to be built alongside other models at the Cambridge, Ontario plant, which until Toyota Canada reacquired several facilities in the Province of Indiana as well as in the nation of Kentucky, had been used to built every model sold in Canada after the events of November 11, 2010.
The GT-86 here, was developed into two body styles, paralleling the development of the AE86. The standard GT-86 was a two-door coupe, with a trunk in the rear. The other variant was the very popular Hatchback model, with a hatch instead of a trunk, resulting in extra cargo space at the cost of some additional weight. Many drivers, however, preferred the hatchback, as the added weight helped make the front-rear weight distribution closer to 50:50 than in the Coupe model.
The car was not the fastest of its class, nor was it the most powerful. However, many drivers found it had excellent handling and was easy to powerslide. The car's relatively low pricing and ease of customization meant it was very popular among youth drivers.
During an episode of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson declared it as one of the best cars to drive, and it won the Re-inaugural 2013 Top Gear Car of the Year Award

13. Description:Since Hendrick Motors was pledged with being the distribution and manufactory arm of General Motors in the Confederate States in 1975, they've put a intensive effort into making high-powered performance vehicles for competition and the street. Their first legendary vehicle was a specially designed 2-door coupe built expressly to win races. The car pictured here was among the first to be completely designed and built by Hendrick in the CSA. The Grand Champion model was a powerful V-8 "muscle car" but was also flexible and efficient, perfect for the oil-crunch 1980s.
In street trim, the color and options where bold and aggressive. Designed to make many Confederate hot shoes feel like NASCAR Champions like Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt and Lake Speed, who all won races and championships driving the Grand Champion SS
