1971 Jeep USPS U.S. Mail Kinsmart 1:26

Los modelos Jeep CJ son una serie de vehículos todoterreno pequeños, pickups compactos con carrocería abierta construidos y vendidos entre 1945 y 1986 a lo largo de varias generaciones sucesivas bajo la marca Jeep. El Jeep Willys de 1945 fue el primer automóvil civil con tracción en las cuatro ruedas producido en masa del mundo.

En 1944, Willys-Overland, uno de los dos principales fabricantes del Jeep militar durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, construyó los primeros prototipos de una versión comercial: el CJ, abreviatura de "civilian Jeep" (Jeep civil).​ A partir de ese momento, todos los Jeep CJ mantuvieron un diseño prácticamente igual, con la carrocería y el bastidor separados, ejes vivos rígidos con ballestas tanto en la parte delantera como en la trasera, un diseño de morro cónico con guardabarros acampanados y un parabrisas plegable, y podían conducirse sin puertas. Además, con pocas excepciones, tenían tracción en las cuatro ruedas a tiempo parcial, con la opción de engranajes reductores altos y bajos, y carrocerías abiertas con techos rígidos o blandos que podían desmontarse.

Después de permanecer en producción a través de una larga serie de números de modelo y de varias empresas, la línea Jeep CJ finalizó oficialmente en 1986. Se fabricaron más de 1,5 millones unidades, habiendo mantenido el mismo estilo de carrocería básico durante 45 años, desde que apareció por primera vez.​ Ampliamente considerado como "el caballo de batalla de Estados Unidos", los CJ han sido descritos como "probablemente el vehículo utilitario más exitoso jamás fabricado".3​ El vicepresidente de American Motors, Joseph Cappy, dijo que el final de la "producción del CJ marcará el final de una era muy importante en la historia de Jeep".​ El Jeep CJ-7 fue reemplazado en 1987 por el Jeep Wrangler de aspecto similar.

Un modelo similar, el DJ "Dispatcher" se introdujo en 1956 como una versión de dos ruedas tractoras, y con carrocería abierta o cerrada con tela o acero, que se utilizó para el servicio en algunos hoteles, centros turísticos, y servicios policiales. Para el Servicio Postal de los Estados Unidos, se fabricó una versión con el volante a la derecha, que facilitaba la recogida del contenido de los buzones situados en las aceras.

1955 Transformer Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle 1:64 Hot Wheels

The Volkswagen Beetle, officially the Volkswagen Type 1, is a small family car produced by the German company Volkswagen from 1938 to 2003. One of the most iconic cars in automotive history, the Beetle is noted for its distinctive shape. Its production period of 65 years is the longest of any single generation of automobile, and its total production of over 21.5 million is the most of any car of a single platform.

The Beetle was conceived in the early 1930s. The leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, decided there was a need for a people's car—an inexpensive, simple, mass-produced car—to serve Germany's new road network, the Reichsautobahn. The German engineer Ferdinand Porsche and his design team began developing and designing the car in the early 1930s, but the fundamental design concept can be attributed to Béla Barényi in 1925, predating Porsche's[d] claims by almost ten years. The result was the Volkswagen Type 1 and the introduction of the Volkswagen brand. Volkswagen initially slated production for the late 1930s, but the outbreak of war in 1939 meant that production was delayed until the war had ended. The car was originally called the Volkswagen Type 1 and marketed simply as the Volkswagen. It was not until 1968 that it was officially named the "Beetle".

Volkswagen implemented designations for the Beetle in the 1960s, including 1200, 1300, 1500, 1600, 1302, and 1303. Volkswagen introduced a series of large luxury models throughout the 1960s and 1970s—comprising the Type 3, Type 4 and the K70—to supplement the Beetle, but none of these models achieved the level of success that it did. Rapidly changing consumer preferences toward front-wheel drive compact hatchbacks in Europe prompted Volkswagen's gradual shift away from rear-wheel drive, starting with the Golf in 1974. In the late 1970s and '80s, Japanese automakers began to dominate the market, which contributed to the Beetle's declining popularity.

Over its lifespan, the Beetle's design remained consistent, yet Volkswagen implemented over 78,000 incremental updates. These modifications were often subtle, involving minor alterations to its exterior, interior, colours, and lighting. Some more noteworthy changes included the introduction of new engines, models and systems, such as improved technology or comfort.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Wagon Hot Wheels 1:64

From Wikipedia:

In 1970, sheet metal revisions gave the bodies a more coke bottle styling, and interiors were also redesigned. The 1970 Chevelle and the 1970 Buick Skylark share the same roofline. The 1970 Chevelle came in Sport Coupe, Sport Sedan, convertible, four-door sedan, a couple of wagons, and coupé utility (the El Camino) body styles. Only three of these (Malibu sport coupe, Malibu convertible, and El Camino pickup) were available with a choice of one of two SS options; RPO Z25 with the SS 396 (402 cid) engine and RPO Z15 with the new 454 cid engine. The base model was now simply called Chevelle in lieu of the former base 300 Deluxe, and was only available as a Sport Coupe or four-door sedan. In Canada, the base series retained its 300 Deluxe name, with appropriate badging on each front fender just behind the front wheel well. The 300 Deluxe 2-door sedan was canceled and replaced by the base Chevelle Sport Coupe, a 2 door pillarless hardtop. The hardtop, convertible, and sedan received the upgraded sheet metal but the station wagons and El Camino retained the previous year's sheet metal panels (which went on for the next 2 model years). Station wagons were the entry-level Nomad, the Chevelle level Greenbrier, the Malibu level Concours, and an upscale Concours Estate. New options included power door locks and a stalk-mounted wiper control. Production was expanded to the GM Arlington Assembly plant in Arlington, Texas (where the Chevelle was assembled with its corporate siblings in this case the Oldsmobile Cutlass).

1999 Ford Mustang GT Welly 1:24

MUSTANG GT:

Following the base Mustang in December 1993, the Mustang GT was reintroduced in January 1994, featuring higher performance and better handling than the base Mustang or its 1993 predecessor. Ford carried over the 302 CID pushrod small-block V8 engine (called the "5.0 L" although its actual dispacement was 4.94 L) from the 1993 Mustang GT. Total output from the engine was 215 hp (160 kW; 218 PS) at 4200 rpm and 285 lb⋅ft (386 N⋅m) of torque at 3400 rpm. Mustang GTs could deliver zero to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration times in the high-six second range and complete a quarter-mile in about 15 seconds. The Mustang GT also featured a stiffer handling suspension, a 3.08:1 rear axle ratio (later changed to 3.27:1 or 3.55:1 depending on the transmission and model year), dual exhausts, and larger 16-inch (410 mm) wheels (compared to the base Mustang's 15-inch wheels). The 1994 Mustang GT was named Motor Trend Car of the Year.

For 1995, a one-year model referred to as the Mustang GTS was introduced. This was considered to be a "stripped down" version of the Mustang GT that included the performance parts of the GT model, but a minimum of non-performance related features, similar in concept to the 5.0 LX Fox-body. The 1995 GT was the last year of the 5.0 pushrod V8 engine.

In 1996, Ford dropped the 302 CID small block V8 that was in production since 1968 and introduced the Modular 4.6 L SOHC V8. These engines were produced at two different plants, Windsor and Romeo. A "W" in the VIN 8th digit indicates a "Romeo" engine, while an "X" indicates a "Windsor".

The Windsor and Romeo have subtle differences. Valve cover bolt patterns are one. Romeo has fewer bolts than the Windsor. Another difference is the front cover bolts. The Windsor uses 8 mm and the Romeo uses 10 mm bolts. The Romeo uses jack screws on the main caps and the Windsor uses dowels. The new engine produced 215 hp (160 kW; 218 PS) at 4400 rpm and 285 lb⋅ft (386 N⋅m) of torque at 3500 rpm, matching the output of its predecessor. For 1998, the 4.6 L V8 received a small increase in output, resulting in 225 hp (168 kW; 228 PS) at 4750 rpm and 290 lb⋅ft (393 N⋅m) of torque at 3500 rpm. This was achieved through PCM calibration and a modified fuel system. Though capable of matching or exceeding the older 302 V8's output, the 4.6 L V8 was criticized for delivering inadequate performance, particularly against the larger displacement of the OHV V8 used in the Mustang's chief rival, the Chevrolet Camaro.
