1969 Dodge Charger RT Johnny Lightning 1:24

The Dodge Charger is a model of automobile marketed by Dodge in various forms over seven generations since 1966.

The first Charger was a show car in 1964. A 1965 Charger II concept car resembled the 1966 production version.

The Charger has been built on three different platforms in various sizes. In the United States, the Charger nameplate has been used on intermediate sized pony cars, muscle cars, and personal luxury coupes, as well as on subcompact hatchbacks; and the current Charger is a full-size four-door sedan.

The 1966 Charger was an effort by Dodge to produce an upscale, upsized pony car. American Motors had already built a very similar vehicle in 1965, the (Rambler) Marlin, which was positioned as a personal car, an emerging market niche.

Mercury was successful in its execution in introducing the upscale Cougar, which was both larger and more refined than the Ford Mustang that pioneered the pony car concept in 1964.

The Charger was positioned as a more expensive and luxurious coupe aiming at the market segment represented by the Oldsmobile Toronado and Ford Thunderbird market segment instead of the other muscle cars.

The Charger was introduced during the 1966 model year. Derived from the Chrysler B-body intermediate-sized Dodge Coronet, it shared major components like the chassis and much of the two-door Coronet's front body, but it received a fastback rear, similar to AMC's Marlin, and it featured a four bucket seat interior. The front fascia introduced hidden headlights behind a full-width grille.

The base engine was a 318 cu in (5.2 L) V8 with a three-speed manual and an optional automatic transmission. Larger and more powerful engines were also available such as the 426 cubic inch Hemi V8. Sales were low.

1966 Batmobile Batman Johnny Lightning 1:24

El Batimóvil de la serie de televisión de acción en vivo y de su posterior película de 1966 a 1968 comenzó su vida como un auto Ford llamado Lincoln Futura, construido en la decada anterior en 1955. El cuerpo del Futura fue fabricado por Ghia de Italia, cuyos artesanos martillaron los paneles del coche sobre troncos y tocones de árboles tallados con formas para crear en el coche el elegante diseño de manta raya. En 1959, el Futura se presentó usando pintura roja fresca en la película It Started With A Kiss protagonizada por Debbie Reynolds y Glenn Ford. En 1965, ABC-TV eligió al famoso personalizador de Hollywood George Barris para diseñarle un "Batmobile" para su serie de Batman que estaba en Produccion.

Dean Jeffries trabajó en el diseño y fabricación inicial del Batmóvil, usando un Cadillac de 1959, pero cuando el estudio quiso el coche más rápido que se pudiera encontrar, regresaron de nuevo a George Barris. Con sólo tres semanas para terminar, Barris decidió que en lugar de construir un coche desde cero, sería mejor transformar el Lincoln Futura (comprado a Ford por 100$) en el famoso vehículo de lucha contra el crimen. Barris contrató a Bill Cushenberry para hacerle las modificaciones al metal del coche.

Cuando comenzó el rodaje de la serie, varios problemas surgieron debido a la antigüedad del coche: se recalentaba, la batería se cortaba, y los costosos neumaticos Mickey Thompson se despichaban continuamente. A la mitad de la Temporada el motor y la transmisión fueron sustituidos por los de un Ford Galaxie. Una de las influencias visuales mas importantes del coche es que los Batmobiles posteriores usualmente tenían un cohete propulsor que al activarlo hacia al auto mucho mas rapido.

The '32 Ford Delivery is based on designer Larry Wood's own car. Full-fendered with a V8 engine, this sedan was made to deliver in both speed and style.

The term 1932 Ford may refer to three models of automobile produced by Ford Motors between 1932 and 1934: the Model B, the Model 18, and the Model 40. These succeeded the Model A. The Model B had an updated four-cylinder engine and was available from 1932 to 1934. The V8 was available in the Model 18 in 1932, and in the Model 40 in 1933 & 1934. The 18 was the first Ford fitted with the flathead V-8. The company also replaced the Model AA truck with the Model BB, available with either the four- or eight-cylinder engine.

The three car models were replaced by the streamlined Model 48 in 1935 which used the same chassis as its predecessor. The 1937 Ford would be the last to use the old 1932 chassis until 1940 when the car line of Ford was completely redesigned.

1965 Ford Mustang Johnny Lightning 1:24

From Wikipedia:

The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford from March 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of competition.

It was initially introduced on April 17, 1964, as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale in August 1964. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang, sharing its platform with the Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment.

With each revision, the Mustang saw an increase in overall dimensions and in engine power. The 1971 model saw a drastic redesign to its predecessors. After an initial surge, sales were steadily declining, as Ford began working on a new generation Mustang. With the onset of the 1973 oil crisis, Ford was prepared, having already designed the smaller Mustang II for the 1974 model year. This new car had no common components with preceding models.

The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro is an American pony car which appeared in Chevrolet dealerships on September 29, 1966 for the 1967 model year on a brand-new rear wheel drive GM F-body platform and was available as a 2-door, 2+2 seat, hardtop (no "B" or center pillar) or convertible, with the choice of either a straight-6 or V8 engine. The first-generation Camaro was built through the 1969 model year.

Almost all of 1967-1969 Camaros were built in the two U.S. assembly plants: Norwood, Ohio and Van Nuys, California. There were also five non-U.S. Camaro assembly plants in countries that required local assembly and content. These plants were located in the Philippines, Belgium, Switzerland, Venezuela, and Peru.
