1960 Ford Starliner 1:26 Maisto Swap

From Wikipedia:

The Ford Starliner was the fastback version of the flagship Galaxie line of full-size Fords in 1960 and 1961.

In 1960, the Starliner hardtop, along with the Sunliner convertible, made up the Galaxie Special Series. It utilized the high-level Galaxie trim, however the Galaxie name on the trunk lid was replaced by Starliner script. In 1961 the Starliner hardtop and Sunliner convertible were part of the Galaxie Series.

The Ford Starliner shares its name with the 1952–1954 Studebaker Starliner and the Lockheed L-1649A airplane.

Characterized by their thin roof pillars, fastback styling and slippery aerodynamics, they symbolized 1960s jet age design. While the '60 and '61 body styles share only their roof lines and chassis, they did share the same overall styling concept.

The base engine in the 1960 and 1961 models was the aging 292 CID Y-block V-8, with the optional 352 motor that was originally introduced in 1958. In 1961 Ford offered the new Thunderbird 390 cubic-inch motor in three versions with the top line offering in 375 horsepower. There was also a dealer option for a 6V-401 HP that came with a three-2 barrel manifold and carb setup in the trunk to be installed by the dealer or the buyer.

In 1962 the Galaxie 500 (and 500 XL) replaced the Starliner as the top offering. The number of Starliners built in 1960 was 68,641, and 29,669 were built in 1961.

1955 Buick Century Police 1:26 Maisto

From Wikipedia:

Buick Century is the model name that was used by Buick for a line of upscale full-size cars from 1936 to 1942 and 1954 to 1958, as well as from 1973 to 2005 for mid-size cars.

The first Buick Century debuted in 1936 as a shorter and lighter model featuring the same engine as the bigger Roadmaster and Limited series giving it more performance. The Century name was then used on six generations of cars of varying sizes as well as performance and trim levels.

In 1969, Buick developed a concept car known as the Century Cruiser.

1996 Dodge RAM 1500 SS/T Pickup Maisto 1:26

Pickup trucks are typically known for off-road ruggedness rather than on-road performance. Exceptions exist, though. "Sport trucks," such as Dodge's Ram SS/T, are designed for going fast and looking good on the pavement rather than off it. Inspired by the success of the limited-edition 1996 Indy Ram -- which commemorated the truck's pace-vehicle duties at that year's Indianapolis 500 auto race -- the SS/T combined extroverted styling with a modest but noticeable bump in power. The truck was produced for only two years: 1997 and 1998. There were no significant changes between the two model years.

SS/T Features

The sporty Ram came with special 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with P275/60R17 performance tires, polished-chrome exhaust tips, fog lamps, a tachometer, and color-keyed front and rear bumpers and rear valance. Perhaps the most memorable special feature of the SS/T, though, was its paint job. It came in four bold colors, each with contrasting dual racing stripes. To many Dodge fans, the eye-catching stripes evoked the brand's recently released Viper GTS sports car. The SS/T was available in the following color combinations: bright red with silver stripes, emerald green with silver stripes, black with silver stripes and white with blue stripes.

Dimensions

The Ram SS/T was available as a regular-cab truck only. It measured 204.1 inches in length, 79.4 inches in width and 71.9 inches in height, and it sat on a 118.7-inch wheelbase. The truck's bed length was 6.5 feet, which was the shorter of the two lengths normally offered on regular-cab Rams. Because the SS/T was more about performance and style than utility, though, most buyers likely didn't miss the greater cargo capacity of the long bed. The truck's cab provided 40.2 inches of headroom, 66 inches of shoulder room, 65.6 inches of hip room and 41 inches of legroom.

Powertrain

The Ram SS/T was powered by an enhanced version of the same 5.9-liter V-8 available in other Rams of its vintage. In the SS/T, it generated a healthy 245 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and 335 foot-pounds of torque at 3,200 rpm. This was 10 more horsepower and 5 more foot-pounds of torque than the standard version. The increase in power was primarily due to the SS/T's low-restriction exhaust system. Keeping with its sporty nature, the truck was available exclusively with rear-wheel drive. A four-speed autobox was the sole transmission choice; however, it was tuned to shift more aggressively in the SS/T. The Dodge came standard with four-wheel disc brakes with rear-wheel ABS. Four-wheel ABS was optional.

Performance

Although the Ram SS/T wasn't wildly fast, it was definitely on the quick side for a factory-spec, full-size pickup circa the late 1990s. It could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a brisk 6.9 seconds and rush through the quarter mile in 15.2 seconds.

Consumer Data

Fuel economy was less of a concern for many buyers in the 1990s, due to historically low gas prices. This was fortunate for Dodge, as the Ram SS/T's fuel economy numbers were particularly abysmal. The sporty truck was EPA-rated at 11 mpg in the city and 16 mpg on the highway. When new, the 1997 model had a base price of $20,025, while the 1998 version started at $20,480. Kelley Blue Book reports that, as of 2014, a nicely maintained 1997 model is worth about $1,957, while an equivalent 1998 should go for around $2,105.

1966 Lincoln Continental Custom Maisto 1:26

The Lincoln Continental is a series of mid-sized and full-sized luxury cars produced by Lincoln, a division of the American automaker Ford Motor Company. The model line was introduced following the construction of a personal vehicle for Edsel Ford, who commissioned a coachbuilt 1939 Lincoln-Zephyr convertible, developed as a vacation vehicle to attract potential Lincoln buyers. In what would give the model line its name, the exterior was given European "continental" styling elements, including a rear-mounted spare tire.

In production for over 55 years across nine different decades, Lincoln has produced ten generations of the Continental. Within the Lincoln model line, the Continental has served several roles ranging from its flagship to its base-trim sedan. From 1961 to 1976, Lincoln sold the Continental as its exclusive model line. The model line has also gone on hiatus three times. From 1949 to 1955, the nameplate was briefly retired. In 1981, the Continental was renamed the Lincoln Town Car to accommodate the 1982 seventh-generation Continental. After 2002, the Continental was retired, largely replaced by the Lincoln MKS in 2009; in 2017, the tenth-generation Continental replaced the MKS.

As part of its entry into full-scale production, the first-generation Continental was the progenitor of an entirely new automotive segment, the personal luxury car. Following World War II, the segment evolved into coupes and convertibles larger than sports cars and grand touring cars with an emphasis on features, styling, and comfort over performance and handling. From 1956 to 1957, the Continental nameplate was the namesake of the short-lived Continental Division, marketing the 1956–1957 Continental Mark II as the worldwide flagship of Ford Motor Company; as a second successor, Ford introduced the Continental Mark series in 1969, produced over six generations to 1998.

Along with the creation of the personal luxury car segment, the Lincoln Continental marked the zenith of several designs in American automotive history. The Continental is the final American vehicle line with a factory-produced V12 engine (1948), the final four-door convertible (1967), and the final model line to undergo downsizing (for the 1980 model year).
