1957 Ford Ranchero Pickup 1:18 Road Legends

The Ford Ranchero is a coupe utility that was produced by Ford between 1957 and 1979. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the Ranchero was adapted from a two-door station wagon platform that integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body. A total of 508,355 units were produced during the model's production run. Over its lifespan it was variously derived from full-sized, compact, and intermediate automobiles sold by Ford for the North American market.

During the 1970s, the Ranchero name was used in the South African market for a rebadged Australian Ford Falcon utility. Shipped from Australia in complete knock down (CKD) form, these vehicles were assembled in South Africa at Ford's plant in Port Elizabeth. In Argentina, a utility version of the locally produced Ford Falcon was also called Ranchero.

The original Ranchero sold well enough to spawn a competitor from General Motors in 1959, the Chevrolet El Camino.

 The first Ford Model T and Model A pickup trucks were created from roadsters by placing a pickup box behind the body of a car. In 1934, Ford Australia's designer Lew Bandt modified a coupe with a smoothly integrated load-bed that could be used like a car to drive to church or to deliver pigs to market. This created the coupe utility which remains a popular body style known as the "ute" in Australia. In North America, pickup trucks evolved into a heavier duty form with cabs and beds that were quite distinct from passenger automobiles. The Ranchero was the first postwar American vehicle of its type adapted from a popular sedan from the factory. It combined the sleek looks of a sedan with the utility of a light-duty pickup truck.

1957 Ford Courier Sedan Delivery Johnny Lightning 1:24

Ford Courier is a model nameplate used by Ford since the early 1950s. First used in North America for a sedan delivery, the Courier nameplate has seen use worldwide for multiple types of vehicles. The Courier nameplate was also used by Ford for a series of compact pickup trucks (produced by Mazda) and would also see use by Ford of Europe denoting a Fiesta-based panel van. Ford Brazil used the nameplate for a Fiesta-based coupe utility pickup marketed across Latin America.

During the 2000s, the Courier pickup truck was replaced by the Ranger nameplate (which replaced the Courier in North America for 1983); the Courier panel van was replaced by the Ford Transit Connect in 2002. For 2014, the stand-alone Courier name was withdrawn, but returned as the Transit Courier, the smallest vehicle of the Ford Transit van series.

From 1952 to 1960, Ford applied the Courier nameplate to its sedan delivery bodystyle. Intended as a commercial vehicle (serving as the forerunner of the modern-day cargo van); Ford also offered a similar configuration derived from the F-Series pickup truck named the panel delivery.

Sharing its body with two-door Ford station wagons, the Courier was designed with a large storage area behind the front seats, replacing the rear seating area and rear side windows (replaced by painted steel panels).

Marketed exclusively as a two-door vehicle, the Courier was initially designed with a side-hinged rear cargo access door (unique to the model line). For 1957 and 1958, the Courier adopted the two-piece "clamshell" design shared by the two-door Ford Parklane and Ford Del Rio station wagons, sharing their body design (without rear side glass).

For 1959, to lower production costs of the model line, the Courier took on the body of the two-door Ford Ranch Wagon in its entirety, distinguished only by its rear cargo area.

After the 1960 model year, Ford retired both the Courier sedan delivery and the F-Series panel delivery, replacing both model lines with the Ford Econoline cargo van for 1961; the two-door sedan delivery bodystyle was moved to the compact Ford Falcon model range and offered through 1964.

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible 1:24 M2 Machines.

Inicialmente, los ejecutivos de General Motors querían un auto totalmente nuevo para 1957, pero los retrasos de producción hicieron necesario el diseño 1955-1956 por un año más. Ed Cole, ingeniero jefe de Chevrolet, dictó una serie de cambios que aumentaron significativamente el coste del coche. Estos cambios incluyen un nuevo tablero de instrumentos, la capota cerrada, y la reubicación de los conductos de aire de las vainas de los faros, que se tradujo en el faro cromado distintivo que ayudó a que el Chevrolet '57 fuera un clásico. Ruedas de Catorce pulgadas reemplazan las ruedas de quince pulgadas de años anteriores para dar al coche una postura más baja, y una amplia reja se utilizó para dar al coche un aspecto más amplio de la parte delantera. Los ahora famosos '57 Chevrolet aletas en la cola fueron diseñados para duplicar la amplia mirada en la parte trasera. Recibieron modelos Bel Air con ajustes en oro: la rejilla, galones del guardabarros delantero, capó, y el guion tronco fueron prestados en oro anodizado. Los 1957 Chevrolet no tenían un medidor de presión de aceite o un voltímetro.​ El motor base era un 6 cilindros en línea llamado el Blue Flame Six. El motor estaba en marcha más suave que el V8. El carburador vino de un solo carburador de un barril.

From Wikipedia:

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, or 250 TR, is a racing sports car built by Ferrari from 1957 to 1961. It was introduced at the end of the 1957 racing season in response to rule changes that enforced a maximum engine displacement of 3 litres for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and World Sports Car Championship races. The 250 TR was closely related to earlier Ferrari sports cars, sharing many key components with other 250 models and the 500 TR.

The 250 TR achieved many racing successes, with variations winning 10 World Sports Car Championship races including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1958, 1960, and 1961, the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1958, 1959 and 1961, the Targa Florio in 1958, the 1000 Km Buenos Aires in 1958 and 1960 and the Pescara 4 Hours in 1961. These results led to World Sports Car Championship constructor's titles for Ferrari in 1958, 1960 and 1961.
