1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula 455HO Muscle Car Matchbox 1:65 Thailand

El Pontiac Firebird es un automóvil deportivo que la marca estadounidense Pontiac construyó para que su matriz General Motors siguiera punteando en los deportivos más apetecidos del mundo entre los años 1967 y 2002. Debe su nombre a un dios de la India que simbolizaba la acción, el poder, la belleza y la juventud.

El Firebird fue presentado solo 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 suple sus propios motores hasta 1977, a partir de 1977 Firebirds fueron construidos con diferentes motores de casi toda la gama de General Motors hasta 2002.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro RS SS Maisto 1:18

The Chevrolet Camaro is a mid-size American automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, classified as a pony car and also as a muscle car with some versions. It first went on sale on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year and was designed as a competing model to the Ford Mustang. The Camaro shared its platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced for 1967.

Four distinct generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. The nameplate was revived on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro; production started on March 16, 2009. Over 5 million Camaros have been sold.

2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Maisto 1:25 Pickup

The Ford Explorer is a range of SUVs manufactured by Ford Motor Company since the 1991 model year. The first four-door SUV produced by Ford, the Explorer was introduced as a replacement for the two-door Bronco II. Within the current Ford light truck range, the Explorer is slotted between the Ford Edge and Ford Expedition. As with the Ford Ranger, the Explorer derives its name from a trim package previously offered on the Ford F-Series pickup trucks.

Currently in its sixth generation, the Explorer has been offered with multiple chassis and powertrain layouts. The first two generations were directly derived from the Ford Ranger, switching to a model-specific chassis for the third and fourth generations. The fifth generation was repackaged as a CUV, adopting a variant of the Ford Taurus chassis architecture (developed for SUV use). Introduced for 2020 production, the current generation was redesigned as a unibody chassis SUV, reverting again to a model-specific chassis.

Alongside the five-door Explorer wagon, a three-door Explorer wagon was offered from 1991 to 2003, serving as the direct replacement of the Bronco II; the 2001-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac was a crew-cab pickup derived from the model line. For police use, the Ford Police Interceptor Utility has been derived from the fifth and sixth-generation Explorer to replace Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (and the later Taurus-based Police Interceptor Sedan). Through rebranding, Mazda, Mercury, and Lincoln have sold versions of the Explorer; Lincoln currently markets the sixth-generation model line as the Lincoln Aviator.

The first four generations of the Explorer were produced by Ford at its Louisville Assembly Plant (Louisville, Kentucky) and at its now-closed St. Louis Assembly Plant (Hazelwood, Missouri); the model line is now currently produced at Chicago Assembly (Chicago, Illinois).

1975 Jeep CJ-7 Burago 1:24

From Wikipedia:

The Jeep CJ models are both a series and a range of small, open-bodied off-road vehicles and compact pickup trucks, built and sold by several successive incarnations of the Jeep automobile marque from 1945 to 1986. The 1945 Willys Jeep was the world's first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car.

In 1944, Willys-Overland, one of the two main manufacturers of the World War II military Jeep, built the first prototypes for a commercial version – the CJ, short for "civilian Jeep". From then on, all CJ Jeeps consistently had a separate body and frame, rigid live axles with leaf springs both front and rear, a tapering nose design with flared fenders, and a fold-flat windshield, and could be driven without doors. Also, with few exceptions, they had part-time four-wheel drive systems, with the choice of high and low gearing, and open bodies with removable hard or soft tops.

After remaining in production through a range of model numbers, and several corporate parents, the Jeep CJ line was officially ended in 1986. More than 1.5 million CJ Jeeps were built, having continued the same basic body style for 45 years since the Jeep first appeared. Widely regarded as "America's workhorse", the CJs have been described as "probably the most successful utility vehicle ever made." American Motors VP Joseph Cappy said the end of "CJ production will signal an end of a very important era in Jeep history." The Jeep CJ-7 was replaced in 1987 by the similar-looking Jeep Wrangler.

The similar model, the DJ "Dispatcher" was introduced in 1956 as a two-wheel drive version with open, fabric, or a closed steel body in both left- and right-hand drives for hotel, resort, police, and later United States Postal Service markets.

1956 Ford Thunderbird 1:24 Motor Max

 El Ford Thunderbird es un automóvil del segmento F fabricado en los Estados Unidos por la Ford Motor Company. El nombre del Ford Thunderbird proviene del folklore nativo estadounidense de Arizona y Nuevo México. Cuenta la mitología que el Thunderbird (Pájaro del trueno) gobernaba en el cielo y era el ayudante divino del hombre. Sus grandes alas batientes, invisibles para los mortales, originaban los vientos y los truenos, dando lugar a las tormentas del desierto que proporcionaban a los indígenas estadounidenses el agua para seguir viviendo en la sequedad en la que les había situado el destino en América del Norte.

La idea era llamar al Thunderbird Fairlane, pero se consideraron muchas otras opciones; por ejemplo, aun cuando Lewis D. Crusoe se inclinó por el nombre alternativo de Savile, fue él quién convocó a un concurso entre los empleados de Ford Motor Company para sugerir un nombre. El ganador recibiría un premio de USD $250. Alden "Gib" Giberson, un estilista nativo del suroeste, sugirió el nombre de "Thunderbird".

La creación de este coche se atribuye a un antiguo ejecutivo de General Motors, Lewis D. Crusoe, un vicepresidente de Ford, George Walker y un diseñador de Ford, Frank Hershey. Entró en la producción para el año 1955 como un modelo de automóvil deportivo de dos plazas, pero, a diferencia del similar Chevrolet Corvette, el Thunderbird nunca fue vendido como un verdadero automóvil deportivo. Ford lo describió como un coche de lujo personal, una descripción que nombró a un nuevo segmento del mercado. En 1958, el Thunderbird adquirió una segunda fila de asientos. Las generaciones posteriores se hicieron cada vez más grandes hasta que en 1977 se presentó una generación de tamaño menor, continuándose esa tendencia de reducción de tamaño en las generaciones de 1980, y otra vez en 1983. Las ventas fueron buenas hasta la década de 1990, cuando los grandes coupés de 2 puertas lo hicieron impopular, la producción cesó después de 1997. En 1999 en el Salón del Automóvil de Detroit se presentó un prototipo que retomó el nombre Thunderbird, este modelo se basó en una interpretación moderna del descapotable de dos plazas original de 1955. En 2002 fue lanzado nuevamente como modelo de 2 plazas, esta vez con un diseño "retro" que recuerda a la primera generación, que estuvo disponible hasta el final del año 2005.
