2008 Hummer HX Concept 1:18 Maisto

The Hummer HX is a two-door off-road concept compact SUV that was revealed at the 2008 North American International Auto Show by General Motors.

The objective of the HX concept car project was to potentially market a Hummer branded vehicle in the smaller-sized and lower priced SUV market segments. Development of the vehicle, dubbed H4, began in 2004 and the new model was to be Jeep Wrangler sized.

The 2008 HX show car was smaller than both the H2 and H3. It featured a 3.6 L (220 cu in) V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The HX shared with other Hummers a body-on-frame design, with front and rear independent suspensions, four-wheel-disc brakes, and full-time four-wheel drive.

The HX was shown with a slant-back configuration, wearing a desert-inspired matte olive paint scheme, and featured removable doors with exposed hinge pins and removable composite fender flares that are attached with quarter-turn quick-release fasteners.

The exterior's matte olive color was also applied to the interior's largely sheet metal-covered panels. The floor was a rubberized material. The HX seats four, with a pair of bucket-type seats in the second row. The rear seats are removable to allow cargo room. The console included a compartment for phones and MP3 players with no conventional radio, only integrated speakers and a connector for digital players or similar devices.

Three designers, recent graduates of College for Creative Studies who were new to General Motors, Robert Jablonski, Kang Min-young, a South Korea native, and David Rojas, a native of Peru, participated in the development of the Hummer HX.

2009 Hummer H3T 1:26 Maisto Pick Up

From Wikipedia:

The Hummer H3T is a mid-size pickup truck that was available during the 2009 and 2010 model years.

The vehicle was originally developed as a regular cab (two-door) concept pickup truck in 2003, that was shown at the 2004 Los Angeles Auto Show. The five-passenger four-door crew-cab production version appeared at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show. The H3T featured a 5-foot bed with built-in storage boxes and came in standard H3T, H3T Adventure, H3T Luxury, and H3T Alpha (with cloth or leather trim) trim packages.

A road test by Motor Trend reported the 2009 truck "crawled up rock steps, ran through sand washes, and navigated steep ledges with confidence and capability to spare." They described its turning radius "uncomfortably wide" and said "at highway cruising it would've been nice to have a faster, firmer feel.

The Hummer H3 and H3T were intended to be a smaller and more affordable version of the larger Hummer H2 and H2 SUT. Therefore, many of the luxury features that were standard on the H2 and H2 SUT were optional on the H3 and H3T.

Even though the Hummer H3 and H3T were not as luxurious as their H2 and H2 SUT counterparts, they still came well-equipped. Standard features included alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, premium cloth seating surfaces, an AM/FM-CD player audio system with a six-speaker audio system, keyless entry, power windows and door locks, air conditioning, four-wheel-drive, a five-speed manual transmission, dual front bucket seats, a folding rear bench seat, aluminum interior trim, a Driver Information Center (DIC) in the gauge cluster, and a 3.5L Inline Five-Cylinder (I5) gasoline engine.

Options available on the H3 and H3T included chrome-clad alloy wheels, additional chrome exterior trim, AM/FM radio with single-CD player with MP3 capability (later, an AM/FM stereo with an in dash 6-disc changer with MP3 capability) radios with auxiliary audio inputs, a touchscreen GPS navigation system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, OnStar, remote vehicle start, a security system, luxury leather-trimmed seating surfaces with dual heated front bucket seats, a dual-zone climate control system, a Bluetooth hands-free phone system (later models only), a Monsoon premium audio system with amplifier and subwoofer, an automatic transmission, and a 5.3L Vortec V8 gasoline engine (H3 Alpha and H3T Alpha only).

2011 Ford Mustang GT Coupe 5.0 Maisto 1:24

The 2011 Ford Mustang GT arrives with an all-new 5.0-liter V-8 engine, developed by a passionate team of engineers who rallied around the common goal of delivering more than 400 horsepower along with best-in-class fuel economy and driving fun.

Complementing those goals, a pair of new six-speed transmissions – one manual and one automatic – take advantage of the flexibility and fuel economy benefits of having six forward ratios, helping Mustang GT give powerful launches while also delivering relaxed cruising with exceptional fuel economy.

Chassis enhancements help improve the outstanding balance and driving behavior Mustang owners expect. Damper tuning and spring rates were revised to provide a smooth highway ride, while new rear lower control arms and firmer stabilizer bar bushings improve stiffness and handling for better cornering response over the highly praised 2010 model.

“The overall refinements to Mustang are really brought to life by its new engine,” said David Pericak, Mustang chief nameplate engineer. “The car benefits from better handling, better braking and more refinement, and now it’s powered by a high-tech 5.0-liter V-8 that Mustang enthusiasts and new customers alike are going to love.”

2008 Tesla Roadster Hot Wheels 1:64

From Fandom:
 The 2008 Tesla Roadster is a Hot Wheels casting based on the production car of the same name, debuting in the 2008 New Models. The Tesla Roadster is an all-electric sports car produced by the electric car firm Tesla Motors.

Since 2018-02-06 a Hot Wheels Roadster sits on the dashboard of the real model in space on orbital trajectory between the asteroid belt and Earth. It is part of a mass simulator for the first lauch of SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket and could be seen on live footage. This toy car therefore will travel more miles than any real one existing except the one it's attached to.

1949 Mercury Fire Chief Motormax 1:24

En su planificación de los modelos para 1949, la Ford Motor Company inicialmente pensó en 6 modelos: un Ford pequeño, un Ford grande, un Mercury pequeño, un Mercury grande, un Lincoln de base (Zephyr) y el Continental. Cuando Henry Ford II tomó las riendas de la compañía a finales de 1945, consideró que ya no era necesario tener tal variedad de líneas. El Ford pequeño fue enviado a Francia y se convirtió en el “Vedette”. El Ford grande, diseñado por Bob Gregorie, era demasiado lujoso y voluminoso para competir con el Chevrolet, así que se reemplazó por un nuevo proyecto de último minuto. El auto creado por Gregorie se convertiría en el Mercury 49. El Zephyr se convirtió en el Lincoln de base y finalmente el Lincoln Cosmopolitan sería el modelo más lujoso de la Ford Motor Company en 1949. 

Mercury en la posguerra
El Mercury producido en 1946 es muy similar al de 1942. Esencialmente es un Ford más lujoso y potente. La decisión corporativa más importante se tomó en 1947 con la creación de la división autónoma Lincoln-Mercury, que le daría a estas dos marcas muchos recursos para hacer automóviles de calidad, aunque fuese difícil tener materias primas justo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
El primer diseño Mercury (serie 9CM) totalmente nuevo de la posguerra fue presentado el 29 de abril de 1948. Se rompe la tradición y el Mercury deja de ser un Ford de lujo. Se convierte en un modelo diferente que comparte su carrocería de base con el Lincoln.
La línea es redonda, baja y aerodinámica, de estilo “bañera invertida”, muy popular a finales de los 40 (Nash, Hudson y Packard tenían formas parecidas). Bob Gregorie le puso una parrilla muy ancha y masiva y añadió muchas decoraciones cromadas. El modelo fue un rotundo éxito y la producción de Mercury se triplicó (se fabricaron más de 300,000 unidades), y la marca pasó a ser el sexto productor norteamericano de automóviles en términos de ventas.
Evolución
1949
El Mercury se convierte en una alternativa interesante en el mercado, con su línea parecida a la del Lincoln, sus relativamente bajos precios ($1979-$2716), y un potente motor 8 cilindros en V.
En 1949 la transmisión estándar es manual de 3 velocidades. En opción está la caja semiautomática (“overdrive”) denominada “Touch-o-Matic”. Se ofrecen tres modelos de automóviles: el cupé 2 puertas, el sedan de 4 puertas (cabe anotar que las puertas traseras abren al revés) y el convertible 2 puertas. La camioneta de madera (4 puertas) de 1948 es reemplazada por un modelo de 2 puertas con carrocería de metal y paneles de madera decorativos.
