1948 Chevy Aerosedan Fleetline Welly 1:24 American Graffiti












From Wikipedia:
The Chevrolet Fleetline is an automobile which was produced by US automaker Chevrolet from 1941 to 1952. From 1946 to 1948 it was a sub-series of the Chevrolet Fleetmaster rather than a series in its own right and from 1949 to 1951 it was a sub-series of both the Chevrolet Special and the Chevrolet Deluxe. In its final year it was offered only as a sub-series of the latter.

The Fleetline was introduced late in the 1941 model year as a four-door sedan. In 1942, a fastback two-door "Aerosedan" was also offered. In 1947, the Fleetline made up 71.26% of Chevrolet's sales. For the years' 1949 through 1952 models, the fastback was the only one offered, and Chevrolet dropped the Fleetline for 1953. Production was indefinitely delayed in 1942 due to World War II, after 110,000 had been made, though several thousand Chevrolet coupes and sedans were produced during the war years for military staff use. In 1945, production for civilians resumed. The original series was produced through 1948.

A redesigned Fleetline with reduced body contour and integrated rear fenders was offered for the 1949 through 1952 model years. It was referred to as a "fastback" because of its distinct sloping roof which extends through to the trunk lid. The Fleetline during the 1949 to 1950 years also has a lower look than a sedan, with the windshield being one inch shorter in height than a standard contemporary sedan. The 1949 to 1951 models were made in both four-door and two-door models, with only the lower portion of the doors being interchangeable with a sedan door. The Fleetline series is currently highly collectable. Many are made into street rods, with the common Chevrolet 350 small block V8 and the 350 or 400 turbo transmission being used.

1962 Ferrari 250 Burago 1:24











El Ferrari 250 GTO es un automóvil deportivo y de competición construido por Ferrari entre los años 1962 y 1964; es considerado como uno de los mejores automóviles de alto rendimiento construido y actualmente (2021), el más caro del mundo.

El número 250 hace referencia a la capacidad en centímetros cúbicos, de cada cilindro del motor. Las siglas GTO significan en italiano: "Gran Turismo Omologata" (Gran Turismo Homologado).

En 2004, la revista Sports Car International nombró al 250 GTO número 8 en la lista de "Mejores Automóviles Deportivos" de los años 1960, en la lista de los mejores automóviles deportivos de todos los tiempos. Del mismo modo, la revista Motor Trend Classic nombró al 250 GTO como número 1 en su lista de los "Grandes Ferraris de todos los tiempos".
Los Ferrari 250 GTO fueron diseñados para competir en la categoría GT. Eran una evolución ortodoxa de los Ferrari 250 GT SWB. El ingeniero Giotto Bizzarrini tomó el chasis del Ferrari 250 GT SWB y lo acopló con un motor V12 Colombo Tipo 168 Comp/62 de 2953 cm³ (3 litros) del Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, con una potencia máxima de 300 CV (296 HP; 221 kW) a las 7500 rpm y 30 kg·m (294 N·m; 217 lb·pie) a las 5500 rpm de par máximo. Era un diseño completamente de aleación ligera que utilizaba un sistema de lubricación por cárter seco y seis carburadores de 2 gargantas Weber 38 DCN, con una relación de compresión de 9.7:1.

Sucesivamente, debido a problemas y desacuerdos internos dentro de Ferrari, el ingeniero Bizzarrini y otros ingenieros dejaron la casa, el desarrollo y terminación del proyecto GTO fue encargado al ingeniero Mauro Forghieri y al diseñador Sergio Scaglietti. La carrocería, ahora más ancha fue perfeccionada en las pruebas en el túnel y la pista de viento.

El resto del coche era una presentación equilibrada de la tecnología de Ferrari de los años 60. Contaba con un bastidor tubular soldado a mano, suspensión delantera de doble horquilla, frenos de disco y ruedas fabricadas por Borrani. La caja de cambios era de cinco velocidades y era un paso adelante realmente revolucionario.

El interior era austero hasta el extremo en el que un velocímetro no era considerado necesario para el tablero de instrumentos.

1932 Ford Sedan Delivery Johnny Lightning 1:24











De 1932 Ford Sedan Delivery Johnny Lightning escala 1:24 con chasis metálico.

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.
