The Schubert Extra Six is a vehicle in Mafia.
Design[]
The Schubert Extra Six Fordor is a four-door sedan. It is notably one of the earliest cars in the Mafia storyline to feature a fully rounded body design, a design trend that becomes commonplace among common car models after. It may comes in any one of three body color schemes: White with red fenders, green with black fenders, and blue all around.
Influence[]
The Schubert Extra Six Fordor is based on the Chevrolet Master.
Performance[]
Both the Schubert Extra Six Fordor, Schubert Extra Six Tudor and their police variants share the exact same attributes in performance, as indicated below from the Carcyclopedia:
- Weight: 1346 kg
- Power: 85 hp
- Maximum speed: 80 mph
- Engine: Six cylinder
- Swept volume: 3548 ccm
- Gear box: Three speed
Availability[]
Despite being based on a mid-to-late model, the Schubert Extra Six Fordor begins appearing in the game's chronology much earlier than in real-life.
A green and black Schubert Extra Six Fordor first appears in the storyline as a getaway car for Billy and Johnny during Better Get Used to It (set in 1932), but is largely unobtainable due to programming. If the player attempts to reach the stationary car before the chase begins, a cutscene is triggered, followed by the chase; the player is also unable to carjack the fleeing vehicle, as the mission automatically activates another cutscene and concludes the mission as soon as the player manages to stop the car or chase it into a crash.
The Schubert Extra Six Fordor is finally made widely available as a civilian model during Omerta (set in 1933), when the car begins appearing on the streets, while the player is taught by Ralph how to steal one and is provided a white and red Schubert Extra Six Fordor for the mission. The Schubert Extra Six Fordor ceases to appear on the streets from Just for Relaxation onwards.
Both the Schubert Extra Six Fordor and the Schubert Extra Six Tudor will not be available as a selectable car the player starts out in Free Mode until the player learns how to steal the Schubert Extra Six in Omerta.

Trivia[]
- The vehicle is described by Ralph during Omerta as having 80 horsepower, 5 horsepower less than the Carcyclopedia indicates.
- A peculiar inconsistency among various variants of the Schubert Extra Six is their taillights. The Tudor variant of the civilian Schubert Extra Six only features a single taillight on the left side of the car, while the Fordor has a full pair on both sides of the car; this is reversed with the police versions, with the Tudor version featuring two taillights, while the Fordor has only one, also on the left side. While it was common for cars from the 1930s to have one taillight on one side, it does not explain why this detail is inconsistent among the civilian and police versions of the Schubert Extra Six.
- In an early beta version of the game the car was available in all-green color. Later versions offered it in white with green fenders.
