1966 Ford GT40 Lemans Majorette 1:24 France










 El Ford GT40 es un automóvil de carreras ganador de las 24 Horas de Le Mans cuatro veces seguidas desde 1966 hasta 1969. Fue construido por Ford Motor Company para competir en las carreras de resistencia, y así hacer frente a Ferrari quien ganó en seis ocasiones consecutivas desde 1960 hasta 1965.

El automóvil se llamó GT haciendo referencia a Gran Turismo, y el número 40 representa la altura total del vehículo que es de 40 pulgadas (101,6 cm), como dictaban las normas de participación. Se usó un motor V8 en posición longitudinal de 4,7 a 7,0 litros de cilindrada, en comparación al motor V12 de 3,0 litros a 4,0, usado por su rival: el Ferrari 330 P4.

En un principio, los coches simplemente fueron llamados "Ford GT". El nombre "GT40" fue el nombre del proyecto de preparar sus automóviles para las carreras de resistencia. Los primeros prototipos llevaban el número de serie GT-101 hasta GT-112. La producción continuó y los siguientes coches, los MK I, MK II, MK III y MK IV, que fueron numerados como GT40-P-1000, hasta GT40-P-1145, fueron oficialmente los "GT40s". Siendo "GT40" el nombre del proyecto y apareciendo en el número de serie, se desmiente el dicho de que "GT40" era sólo un apodo. Existen varios MK V, réplicas ya que se fabricaron posteriormente utilizando algunas piezas originales. Nada valoradas por los coleccionistas son una opción muy económica de disfrutar del mito GT40.

En 2003 Ford sacó al mercado un superdeportivo basado en el clásico aquí tratado, con el nombre de Ford GT.

Actualmente, algunas empresas en el mundo replican los modelos Mk I y Mk II, como por ejemplo: HJR KITS CARS (Argentina), Chamonix NG Cars (Brasil), Factory Five Racing (EE.UU.).

1966 Lincoln Continental Custom Maisto 1:26











The Lincoln Continental is a series of mid-sized and full-sized luxury cars produced by Lincoln, a division of the American automaker Ford Motor Company. The model line was introduced following the construction of a personal vehicle for Edsel Ford, who commissioned a coachbuilt 1939 Lincoln-Zephyr convertible, developed as a vacation vehicle to attract potential Lincoln buyers. In what would give the model line its name, the exterior was given European "continental" styling elements, including a rear-mounted spare tire.

In production for over 55 years across nine different decades, Lincoln has produced ten generations of the Continental. Within the Lincoln model line, the Continental has served several roles ranging from its flagship to its base-trim sedan. From 1961 to 1976, Lincoln sold the Continental as its exclusive model line. The model line has also gone on hiatus three times. From 1949 to 1955, the nameplate was briefly retired. In 1981, the Continental was renamed the Lincoln Town Car to accommodate the 1982 seventh-generation Continental. After 2002, the Continental was retired, largely replaced by the Lincoln MKS in 2009; in 2017, the tenth-generation Continental replaced the MKS.

As part of its entry into full-scale production, the first-generation Continental was the progenitor of an entirely new automotive segment, the personal luxury car. Following World War II, the segment evolved into coupes and convertibles larger than sports cars and grand touring cars with an emphasis on features, styling, and comfort over performance and handling. From 1956 to 1957, the Continental nameplate was the namesake of the short-lived Continental Division, marketing the 1956–1957 Continental Mark II as the worldwide flagship of Ford Motor Company; as a second successor, Ford introduced the Continental Mark series in 1969, produced over six generations to 1998.

Along with the creation of the personal luxury car segment, the Lincoln Continental marked the zenith of several designs in American automotive history. The Continental is the final American vehicle line with a factory-produced V12 engine (1948), the final four-door convertible (1967), and the final model line to undergo downsizing (for the 1980 model year).

2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible Maisto escala 1:18

The Dodge Viper is a sports car that was manufactured by Dodge (by SRT for 2013 and 2014), a division of American car manufacturer FCA US LLC from 1992 through 2017, having taken a brief hiatus in 2007 and from 2010 to 2012. Production of the two-seat super car began at New Mack Assembly Plant in 1991 and moved to Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in October 1995.

Although Chrysler considered ending production because of serious financial problems, on September 14, 2010, the then chief executive Sergio Marchionne announced and previewed a new model of the Viper for 2012. In 2014, the Viper was named number 10 on the "Most American Cars" list, meaning 75% or more of its parts are manufactured in the U.S.

The Viper was eventually discontinued in 2017 after being in production for just over twenty years.
