The Hermes is based on the 1949-1951 Mercury Eight, with styling cues from the Hudson Hornet, which is evident with the roof and hood shape, but the car has been evidently modified into a lead sled, with a chopped roof and an additional pair of tail lights.
The Hermes returns in Grand Theft Auto Online, this time assuming the design of the 1942 and 1946–1948 Buick Super, while still featuring influences from 1949-1951 Mercury Eight in the overall shape. The front fascia more closely resembles the first-generation Hudson Hornet. A classic bumper similar to the Hornet's can also be bought from Los Santos Customs. The rear lights and trunk bear mild resemblance to the 1948 Cadillac "Cadzilla", while the side window shape and rear, especially with the bumper removed, seems to also loosely resemble the Holden Efijy.
