1967 Chevrolet Impala Jada 1:24 Swap










El Chevrolet Impala es un automóvil producido por el fabricante estadounidense Chevrolet desde 1958 para el mercado norteamericano. El primer Impala fue presentado en la exhibición Motorama de la General Motors en 1956. Estas versiones mostraban su nueva línea de vehículos para el año próximo. En 1956, el Motorama Car Show pasó por Nueva York, Miami, Los Ángeles, San Francisco y Boston. Este primer Impala era un coupé para cuatro pasajeros, con "un fuerte sabor a Corvette", que fue llamado "Corvette Impala". El coche de demostración fue hecho con carrocería de fibra de vidrio, como el Corvette.
Este coche toma su nombre de un mamífero artiodáctilo llamado impala.
El Chevrolet Impala fue presentado como coche situado en la parte superior de la línea del modelo Bel Air. El primer Impala apareció en el otoño de 1957 como modelo 1958 y fue un gran éxito. Fue ofrecido como coupé y descapotable, con una imagen deportiva. El Impala era 9 pulgadas (22,9 cm) más largo, 4 pulgadas (10,2 cm) más ancho y 2 pulgadas (5,1 cm) más bajo que los modelos Bel Air anteriores. El diseñador Harley Earl había propuesto una evolución hacia un coche más largo, más bajo y más ancho, aunque esto era un salto en el diseño. El nuevo Impala ofrecía algunas opciones consideradas emocionantes en su época. Vino con el nuevo motor V8 con una cilindrada de 348 plgs³ (5,7 L) y el sistema de suspensión Air-Level. Con el nuevo motor, el Impala era mucho más rápido que anteriores Chevys y con el nuevo sistema de suspensión tenía una conducción más suave que antes. Uno de los cambios más relevantes era el nuevo diseño del chasis con forma de X. Según Chevrolet, este chasis aportaba mayor rigidez al coche, haciendo que tuviera un mejor comportamiento en carretera. El nuevo Impala vino con decoraciones de cromo en los tableros de la puerta e instrumentos y un volante de estilo deportivo. Con esto se pretendía que el Impala pareciera un coche más lujoso que el Bel Air.

2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1:24 Jada Endless











The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sport compact car that was produced by Mitsubishi in four generations from 1989 until 2011. A convertible body style was added during the 1996 model year.

The first two generations share the automobile platform and parts with the rebadged Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser captive imports. They were built during Mitsubishi Motors' close relationship with Chrysler Corporation. Their partnership was known as Diamond-Star Motors (DSM). In Japan, the first two generations were sold at a specific Japanese retail chain called Mitsubishi Car Plaza. The third, 2000-2005 generation shared a redesigned platform with the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus. In May 2005, the fourth, and final generation Eclipse was introduced, replacing the Chrysler platform used for the third generation with the PS platform.

According to Mitsubishi Motors, the Eclipse was named after an unbeaten 18th-century English racehorse that won 18 races in a row and then retired.

The Eclipse was officially sold in Japan, North America, the Middle East, South Korea, the Philippines, Brazil, and China. At the end of August 2011, the final Eclipse was manufactured and subsequently auctioned for charity.

In 2017, Mitsubishi resurrected the Eclipse name on a compact crossover vehicle, titled the Eclipse Cross.

2016 Subaru WRX STI Fast & Furious Jada 1:24










The Subaru Impreza (Japanese: スバル・インプレッサ, Hepburn: Subaru Inpuressa) is a compact car that has been manufactured by Subaru since 1992. It was introduced as a replacement for the Leone, with the predecessor's EA series engines replaced by the new EJ series. It is now in its fifth generation.

Subaru has offered 4-door sedan and 5-door body variants since 1992. The firm also offered a coupe from 1995 until 2001, and a 5-door wagon from the Impreza's introduction in the form of a hatchback. Mainstream versions have received "boxer" flat-four engines ranging from 1.5- to 2.5-liters, with the performance-oriented Impreza WRX and WRX STI models uprated with the addition of turbochargers. Since the third generation series, some markets have adopted the abbreviated Subaru WRX name for these high-performance variants. The first three generations of Impreza were also available with an off-road appearance package called the Outback Sport, exclusive to the North American market. For the fourth generation, this appearance package was renamed the XV (Crosstrek in North America), and is sold internationally. Colloquially, the car is sometimes referred to as Scooby.

Subaru has offered both front- and all-wheel drive layouts for the Impreza. Since the late-1990s, some markets have restricted sales to the all-wheel drive model—therefore granting the Impreza a unique selling proposition in the global compact class characterized by front-wheel drive. However, Japanese models remain available in either configuration.

A 2019 iSeeCars study named the Impreza as the lowest-depreciating sedan in the United States after five years.

1995 Volkswagen Jetta Jesse´s Jada 1:24 Fast & Furious.












The Fast and the Furious (later also known as Fast & Furious 1) is a 2001 action film directed by Rob Cohen from a screenplay by Gary Scott Thompson, Erik Bergquist, and David Ayer, with the story credited to Thompson. It is the first installment in the Fast & Furious franchise and stars Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Rick Yune, Chad Lindberg, Johnny Strong, and Ted Levine. In the film, Brian O'Conner, an undercover cop, is tasked with discovering the identities of a group of automobile hijackers led by Dominic Toretto.

Preparations for The Fast and the Furious began after Cohen was introduced to illegal street racing in May 1998, with the screenplay originally developed by Thompson and Bergquist; Walker and Diesel were cast in late 1999, and Diesel contributed to script rewrites with Ayer as the rest of the cast was finalized. The production attended illegal street races, and is notable for its inclusion of street racers. After setting an initial release date for March 2001, principal photography began in July 2000 and lasted until that October, with filming locations including Los Angeles and southern California.

The Fast and the Furious was theatrically released in the United States on June 22, 2001 by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom praised the performances of Walker and Diesel and the action sequences, but criticsm for its storyline and the ending. The film grossed over $200 million worldwide, becoming the 19th highest-grossing film of 2001. It launched a franchise starting with the sequel film 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), which then led to an industry of tie-in products, including video games, amusement park attractions, and spin-off works, and merchandise including toys and clothing. The Fast and the Furious was reissued in a limited release in June 2016, to commemorate its fifteenth anniversary.

1951 Chevrolet Pick Up Jada 1:24










Una 1951 Chevrolet Pick Up escala 1:24 de la marca Jada
Advance-Design was a light and medium duty truck series by Chevrolet, their first major redesign after WWII. Its GMC counterpart was the GMC New Design. It was billed as a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series. First available on Saturday June 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 25, 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the Advance-Design model.

The same basic design family was used for all of its trucks including the Suburban, panel trucks, canopy express, and cab overs. The cab overs used the same basic cab configuration and similar grille but used a shorter and taller hood and different fenders. The unique Cab Over fenders and hood required a custom cowl area which makes the Cab Over Engine cabs and normal truck cabs incompatible with one another while all truck cabs of all weights interchange.

From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States, with rebranded versions sold at GMC locations.

While General Motors used this front end sheet metal, and to a slightly lesser extent the cab, on all of its trucks except for the Cab Overs, there are three main sizes of this truck: the half-, three-quarter-, and full ton capacities in short and long wheelbase.
