Retro Service Vehicles: 1980s Police Car & Taxi Now Available
March 26, 2026
For the first time ever, Upland is going retro. Introducing the 1980s Retro Police Car and the 1980s Retro Taxi, two iconic service vehicles pulled straight from the decade of big engines, bold paint jobs, and zero hesitation at a yellow light.
These are not just collectibles. Both vehicles come equipped with service vehicle boosts, meaning they directly enhance the performance of compatible service structures when placed on the same property. Strategy meets nostalgia, and your neighborhoods are about to feel the difference.
This marks Upland’s first retro vehicle release, and with only 100 of each available, these are built for players who move fast and think long-term.
What Are Service Vehicle Boosts?
Service vehicles are designed to enhance the effectiveness of key service structures in Upland. When placed on a property containing a compatible service structure, these vehicles boost that structure’s score, helping you gain a strategic edge in your neighborhoods.
While service vehicles do not have their own service scores, they act as multipliers, amplifying the performance of the structures they are paired with. This is your chance to stand out from the competition and build even more powerful neighborhoods.
