5 reasons to own Albany Brigham in GTA Online

The last car from the San Andreas Mercenaries drip feed, the Albany Brigham, debuted in Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Online on October 12, 2023. It is a part of the game's Muscle Car category and is primarily based on the 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor, which might remind many of the Ecto-1 from the popular Hollywood movie Ghostbusters. Rockstar Games has also added a livery that can make the Brigham resemble its film counterpart a little more.

This car is available for $1,499,000 on the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website and also has the potential to be a valuable asset for those who are not Ghostbusters fans. Here are five reasons to own an Albany Brigham in GTA Online.

Albany Brigham in GTA Online: Good customizability and 4 more reasons to own it

1) Unique design

As mentioned before, the Albany Brigham's design is primarily based on the 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor. This makes it stand out among several other GTA Online cars. Some parts of this ride also take inspiration from the 1959 Superior-Cadillac Broadmoor Skyview, 1963 Cadillac Series 62, and even the fifth-generation Cadillac Series 62 to some extent.

The Albany Brigham's body is incredibly long and has space for four people. Its interior boasts a vintage look. There is space for a stretcher or coffin at the back, which can be added via customization at Los Santos Customs or any other vehicle workshop.

2) Moves quickly

Players don't expect a car like the Albany Brigham to be fast. In fact, its top speed in the game files was just 84.51 mph (136.00 km/h). However, performance tests conducted by popular Grand Theft Auto YouTuber Broughy1322 showed that its actual top speed is 105.50 mph (169.79 km/h).

While that isn't great by any means either, the Albany Brigham surprisingly moves pretty quickly. Although this car isn't made for competing in multiplayer races, it can still serve well in some missions or when traversing across the game's map.

3) Good customization options

There are 22 customization categories available for the Albany Brigham in GTA Online. Besides the usual engine, armor, and brake enhancements, Rockstar Games has crafted some really interesting modifications for this ride. For instance, you can add a stretcher or a coffin inside the Brigham, choose from a plethora of hood, grilles, and mirror options, and you can even add luggage space on top.

There are 11 liveries available for this car, the most notable of which is the Ghosts Exposed livery. However, it only gets unlocked after completing the GTA Online Ghosts Exposed event. The cost of fully upgrading the Albany Brigham is around $114,900, which most players should be able to afford.

4) Ghostbusters connection

Ghostbusters is an incredibly popular Hollywood movie franchise. While the original film came out decades ago, the latest installment was released in 2021. Since the Brigham is very reminiscent of the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, it is the perfect ride for fans of the series who also play GTA Online.

They can either use respraying options to match the vehicle's classic red and white color scheme from the first movie or use the Ghosts Exposed livery. Players can even make a custom license plate for it at the GTA Online License Plate Creator website.

5) Reasonable price

It is no secret that the prices of several items in GTA Online are highly inflated. Players are required to grind for hours in order to make millions so they can afford the things they want. This is best reflected in vehicles since many of them cost well over a million dollars.

With this context in mind, the Brigham's price tag of $1,499,000 at Southern San Andreas Super Autos seems pretty reasonable. While it cannot be considered cheap, there are worse cars in the game that cost much more.
