1964 Renault R8 Gordini 1:24 Welly
El Renault 8 (Renault R8 hasta 1964) es un automóvil del segmento C producido por la fábrica francesa Renault durante la década de 1960 y principios de la década de 1970. El 8 fue lanzado al mercado en 19621 manteniéndose en producción en Francia hasta 1971, en Bulgaria (Bulgarrenault) hasta 1970, y en España hasta 1976. En Rumania, el R8 fue producido bajo licencia entre 1968 y 1971 con el nombre de Dacia 1100.
El diseño del 8 se asemeja al Alfa Romeo tipo 103 (1960), debido a que Alfa Romeo y Renault mantuvieron una relación comercial en las décadas de 1950 y 1960. Renault fabricó en esa época vehículos Alfa Romeo y Alfa Romeo fabricó en Italia el Renault Dauphine (1959-1964), el Renault Ondine (1961-1962) y el R4 (1962-1964).
El R8 (modelo R1130) apareció en julio de 1962 como sucesor del Renault Dauphine. Lo más notable del automóvil era el empleo de frenos de disco en las ruedas delanteras, una característica inédita hasta entonces para vehículos de su tamaño que utilizaban cuatro frenos de tambor. Tenía un motor de 956 c.c. con 44 caballos de potencia.

1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt 427 cu in (7.0 L) Maisto 1:24
1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt escala 1:24 de la marca MAISTO.
The Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt is a limited production, factory experimental, drag racing version of the Ford Fairlane produced during the 1964 model year only. A total of 100 units were produced; forty-nine 4-speeds and fifty-one automatics, enough to secure the 1964 NHRA Super Stock championship for Ford.
Based on the standard two door post sedan Fairlane and named for a factory experimental Fairlane of 1963, the Thunderbolt combined the light weight of Ford's intermediate-sized body introduced in 1962 with a "high rise" 427 cu in (7.0 L) V8 engine with dual 4-barrel Holley carburetors intended for use in the much larger Galaxie. That engine as used in the Galaxie for NASCAR racing did well, but the Galaxie was simply too heavy an automobile in stock trim to be drag raced successfully; so-called "lightweight" 427-powered Galaxies were built both for stock car racing as well as drag racing during the 1964 model year, although these cars were not modified to the extent of the Thunderbolt. As installed in the Thunderbolt, the engine was rated conservatively at 425 hp (431 PS; 317 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 480 lb⋅ft (651 N⋅m) at 3,700 rpm of torque; estimates placed the actual output was close to 600 hp (608 PS; 447 kW). In standard form, the Fairlane is 12 in (305 mm) shorter than a Galaxie, rides on a 3.5 in (89 mm) shorter wheelbase and weighs approximately 700 lb (318 kg) less. Installing the Ford FE V8 in a vehicle intended for an engine no larger than a Ford Windsor/Challenger engine required major reworking and relocation of the car's front suspension components and the modification and strengthening of the suspension mounting areas. Fiberglass doors, hood, front fenders and even the front bumper on the earliest cars along with Plexiglas side and rear windows aided in weight reduction; the hood with its distinctive raised "teardrop" ram air scoop designed to draw hot air from the engine compartment was pinned in position, eliminating the need for a hood hinges and a latch. Later cars have aluminum front bumpers in place of the fiberglass units due to racing regulations. FROM:WIKIPEDIA.

1964 Buick Riviera Hot Wheels 1:64
From Wikipedia:
The Buick Riviera is a personal luxury car that was marketed by Buick from 1963 to 1999, with the exception of the 1994 model year.
As General Motors' first entry into the personal luxury car market segment, the Riviera was highly praised by automotive journalists upon its high-profile debut. The ground-up design that debuted for 1963 was also Buick's first unique Riviera model, and it pioneered the GM E platform.
Unlike its subsequent GM E platform stablemates, the Oldsmobile Toronado and Cadillac Eldorado, the Riviera was initially a standard front engine/rear-wheel drive platform, only switching to front-wheel drive starting for 1979.
While the early models stayed close to their original form, eight subsequent generations varied substantially in size and styling. A total of 1,127,261 Rivieras were produced.
The Riviera name was resurrected for two concept cars that were displayed at auto shows in 2007 and in 2013.
