1950 Chevy Bel Air MOTORMAX 1:18 Custom Classics.













Un 1950 Chevy Bel Air de la marca MOTORMAX en escala 1:18
El Chevrolet Bel Air fue un automóvil producido en serie entre 1953 y 1975 por Chevrolet, una división de la General Motors Corporation. De 1950 a 1952, los automóviles Chevrolet de lujo eran llamados Bel Air, aunque todavía no era el nombre oficial, utilizado recién a partir de 1953.

Esta serie continuó produciéndose en Canadá con el modelo de 1981.
Los primeros Bel Air de esta época solamente compartían su chapa frontal por delante del pilar A con el resto de la gama. El parabrisas, las puertas, el vidrio y el maletero eran comunes con el Styline DeLuxe Convertible Coupé. Sin embargo, el techo, los cuartos traseros y las tres ventanas traseras eran únicos. El chasis y la mecánica eran comunes con el resto de la gama de vehículos de pasajeros y el aspecto general era el mismo que el resto de la gama, excepto que la línea del techo era más baja y la ventana trasera única de tres piezas le daba un mayor y más equilibrado aspecto. Los primeros Bel Air solamente estaban disponibles con el nivel de equipamiento y la especificación premium "DeLuxe".

Además de los cambios anuales habituales en la parrilla y el acabado, el Bel Air de 1951–1952 difería del modelo anterior de 1950 con la introducción de los guardabarros traseros más altos y cuadrados que se encontraban en toda la gama.

En 1953, Chevrolet cambió el nombre de su serie y el nombre de Bel Air se aplicó a la gama de modelos premium. También surgieron dos series inferiores: la 150 y la 210 (como sucesores de las series Special y Deluxe, respectivamente). El Chevrolet de 1953 fue anunciado como "completamente nuevo de principio a fin", debido a los paneles del cuerpo rediseñados, los extremos delantero y trasero. Sin embargo, esencialmente estos Chevrolet tenían una estructura y mecánica similares a los autos de 1949-1952.

1929 Ford Model A AMT 1:25









The Ford Model A (also colloquially called the A-Model Ford or the A, and A-bone among hot rodders and customizers) was the Ford Motor Company's second market success, after its predecessor, the Model T. First produced on October 20, 1927, but not introduced until December 2, it replaced the venerable Model T, which had been produced for 18 years. This new Model A (a previous model had used the name in 1903–04) was designated a 1928 model and was available in four standard colors. The vehicle was also sold in Europe, but was replaced by local built cars such as the Ford Model Y.

By February 4, 1929, one million Model As had been sold, and by July 24, two million. The range of body styles ran from the Tudor at US$500 (in grey, green, or black) ($10,534 in 2021 dollars ) to the town car with a dual cowl at US$1,200 ($20,862 in 2021 dollars ). In March 1930, Model A sales hit three million, and there were nine body styles available.

Model A production ended in March 1932, after 4,858,644 had been made in all body styles. Its successor was the Model B, which featured an updated inline four-cylinder engine, as well as the Model 18, which introduced Ford's new flathead (sidevalve) V8 engine.

Jeep Rescue Concept Maisto 1:18










Jeep is a brand of American automobile and a division of Stellantis. Jeep has been part of Chrysler since 1987, when Chrysler acquired the Jeep brand, along with remaining assets, from its previous owner American Motors Corporation (AMC).

Jeep's current product range consists solely of sport utility vehicles – both crossovers and fully off-road worthy SUVs and models, including one pickup truck. Previously, Jeep's range included other pick-ups, as well as small vans, and a few roadsters. Some of Jeep's vehicles—such as the Grand Cherokee—reach into the luxury SUV segment, a market segment the 1963 Wagoneer is considered to have started. Jeep sold 1.4 million SUVs globally in 2016, up from 500,000 in 2008, two-thirds of which in North America, and was Fiat-Chrysler's best selling brand in the U.S. during the first half of 2017. In the U.S. alone, over 2400 dealerships hold franchise rights to sell Jeep-branded vehicles, and if Jeep were spun off into a separate company, it is estimated to be worth between $22 and $33.5 billion—slightly more than all of FCA (US).
