2007 Police Interceptor Ford Crown Victoria Motormax 1:24













The Ford Crown Victoria (or simply Crown Vic) is a rear-wheel drive full-size sedan that was marketed and manufactured by Ford from the 1992 to the 2011 model years over two generations. Discontinued in the 2011, the latter day Crown Victoria had been in production since 1991 at Ford's St. Thomas Assembly plant in Talbotville, Ontario, Canada. Dropping its previous LTD prefix, Ford instead revived a nameplate once used on a two-door version of the Fairlane sold in the North American market for the 1955 model year.
The Crown Victoria shared the Ford Panther platform and major powertrain and suspension components with the Lincoln Town Car and Mercury Grand Marquis. Along with its rebadged Mercury and Lincoln variants, the Crown Victoria was the final full-frame rear-wheel-drive passenger sedan produced in North America. The durability associated with its layout popularized the use of the Crown Victoria with taxicab and fleet owners to be one of the most commonly used police patrol/pursuit vehicles in North America (where from 1992-2012 Crown Victorias were mostly sold and used as taxicabs and police cars).

Jurassic World Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6X6 Jada 1:24

Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 was an SUV manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. A derivative of the Mercedes Geländewagen, it was the companies largest and second most expensive street-legal SUV, manufactured by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.
The G63 AMG 6×6 features six-wheel drive running on 5.5L, 536-hp, 561-lb-ft twin-turbo DOHC 32-valve V-8 AMG engine. The G63 AMG 6×6 was fitted with Mercedes' 7G-tronic seven-speed automatic transmission; its transfer case can alter between a 0.87:1 high-range ratio for on-road driving and 2.16:1 low-range ratio for off-road conditions to all six wheels in a nominal 30:40:30 split. An extra shaft delivers power to the rearmost axle. The vehicle had five electronic differential locks, which can deliver 100% lockup of all six wheels, operated by three switches on the dashboard.
The G63 AMG 6×6 is 5875 mm in length, 2110 mm in width and 2210 mm in height, having ground clearance of 460 mm and fording depth at 1000 mm. It has arch axles, almost similar to those fitted on Unimog vehicles. The vehicle was installed with 37-inch wheels featuring bead-plate design, 4196-mm wheelbase (front axle to rearmost axle) had 4105 kg of curb weight. The G63 AMG 6×6 could deliver 0–60 MPH in 7.8 seconds with a top speed limited to 100 MPH. It appears in the movie Beyond the Reach and also featured in Jurassic World.
The G63 AMG 6x6 featured a compressor which allowed to reduce or increase tyre pressure in order to adapt the traction to the driving surface, especially in desert like environments. Therefore, the compressor filled four containers with 20 litres each to allow fast inflation of the tyres. This made it possible to change from sandy deserts to regular streets in less than twenty seconds.
The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 was launched in early 2013. The company decided to stop sales of the car and declared the model completely sold out in early 2015 to maintain model's exclusivity. Mercedes-Benz managed to sell more units of G63 AMG 6×6 than originally anticipated. The last customer delivery of G63 AMG 6×6 left the G-Class factory in GrazAustria in May 2015.

1928 Stutz Black Hawk Boattail Speedster Danbury Mint 1:24

The Black Hawk was new Stutz chief Fred Moskovics’ counterpoint to the Bearcat, the muscular and raucous brute of a machine Harry Stutz introduced before the First World War. What was right then was wrong now, Moskovics was convinced. The American sporting driver of the twenties wanted sophistication in addition to speed. A veteran of Franklin and Marmon, Moskovics refined the Stutz into the Vertical Eight (s.o.h.c., dual ignition, nine main bearings) with Safety Chassis (under slung worm drive, hydraulic brakes).
At the New York National Auto Show in 1926, spectators bent over to see why the car was so low. Its pedigree dictated that this new Stutz be sent racing, and this was done in 1927 with the Black Hawk Speedster, set on the shorter of the Series BB chassis and a whopping 1,377 pounds less weighty than the Stutz sedan. Five victories in two weeks were the immediate result – and the AAA National Stock Championship.
Black Hawk victories during Daytona’s Speedweek the following January numbered three, among them a 106.25 mph run that made Stutz America’s fastest production car. Moskovics was unimpressed. Records should be made in races, he sniffed, peeved that the Contest Board was putting its imprimatur on private board track records made by Auburn.
Besides, Moskovics had a race of his own to occupy his time: the celebrated 24-hour contest that pitted the Black Hawk against Charles Weymann’s Hispano-Suiza, and which Stutz would lose. Nothing had ever broken on a Black Hawk in a race before. A valve keeper did that day; the valve dropped and broke the connecting rod. For Le Mans in June, however, that same Charles Weymann entered a Black Hawk to challenge the “Bentley boys,” who regarded that race as their private preserve. What a fight it was – the lone Stutz battled the three cars of the Bentley team with ferocity, dogged two of them into retirement, and finished second behind the third.
Two decades after it was built, the display car, driven by Dud C. Wilson, raced at Watkins Glen in 1948.
