1980 Chevrolet El Camino SS Hot Wheels 1:64

The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupé utility vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet between 1959–60 and 1964–1987. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from the standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body.

Introduced in the 1959 model year in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero coupé utility, its first run, based on the Biscayne's B-body, lasted only two years. Production resumed for the 1964–1977 model years based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978–1987 model years based on the GM G-body platform.

Although based on corresponding General Motors car lines, the vehicle is classified in the United States as a pickup. GMC's badge engineered El Camino variant, the Sprint, was introduced for the 1971 model year. Renamed Caballero in 1978, it was also produced through the 1987 model year.

The concept of a two-door vehicle based on a passenger car chassis with a tray at the rear began in the United States in the 1920s with the roadster utility (also called "roadster pickup" or "light delivery") models.

Ford Australia was the first company to produce a coupé utility as a result of a 1932 letter from the wife of a farmer in Victoria, Australia, asking for "a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs to market on Mondays". Ford designer Lew Bandt developed a suitable solution, and the first coupé utility model was released in 1934. Bandt went on to manage Ford's Advanced Design Department, being responsible for the body engineering of the XP, XT, XW, and XA series Ford Falcon utilities. General Motors’ Australian subsidiary Holden also produced a Chevrolet coupé utility in 1935, and Studebaker produced the Coupé Express from 1937 to 1939. The body style did not reappear on the American market until the release of the 1957 Ford Ranchero.

Both the coupé utility and the similar open-topped roadster utility continued in production, but the improving economy of the mid- to late-1930s and the desire for improved comfort saw coupé utility sales climb at the expense of the roadster utility until, by 1939, the latter was all but a fading memory.

In 1957, Ford introduced the Ranchero, and established a new market segment in the U.S. of an automobile platform based coupé utility. In 1959, Chevrolet responded with the El Camino to compete with Ford's full-sized Ranchero. The original El Camino and Ranchero would compete directly only in the 1959 model year.

1984 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Hot Wheels 1:64

El Pontiac Firebird es un automóvil deportivo que la marca estadounidense Pontiac construyó para que su matriz General Motors siguiera presente en el exclusivo sector de los deportivos más apetecibles del mundo entre los años 1967 y 2002. Debe su nombre a un dios de los indios nativos americanos.

El Firebird fue presentado seis meses después de su "hermano" de plataforma: el Chevrolet Camaro. Esto coincidió con el lanzamiento del Mercury Cougar. Los vehículos fueron, en su mayor parte, potenciados por diversos motores V8 de las diferentes divisiones de General Motors. Aunque principalmente Pontiac suplía sus propios motores hasta 1977, después de ese año fueron construidos con diferentes motores de casi toda la gama de General Motors hasta 2002.

El precursor del concepto del muscle car fue el GTO, que poco después dio origen a uno de los deportivos más icónicos de la cultura americana: el Firebird, que salió a la venta tres años después que el GTO, en 1967.

La primera generación empezó a comercializarse en 1967 y estuvo en el mercado durante tres años. Recibía el nombre de un dios indio que simboliza la belleza, el poder y la juventud y se lanzó en cuatro versiones unos meses después de la presentación del Chevrolet Camaro, con lo que John DeLorean, cabeza visible del proyecto, tuvo tiempo para mejorar la ingeniería, mover el motor hacia atrás y añadir barras de torsión en el eje trasero para mejorar el reparto de pesos y la tracción. Sin embargo, no fue hasta el final de esa primera generación que llegó el Trans-Am, que recibía el nombre de las célebres carreras americanas. Esta versión contaba con un bloque V8 Ram-Air que superaba los 253 HP (257 CV; 189 kW) del Firebird 400.
