Alfa Romeo 156 Polizia Burago 1:24 Italy












The Alfa Romeo 156 (Type 932) is a compact executive car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Alfa Romeo. It was introduced at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show as the replacement for the Alfa Romeo 155. The 156 received a positive reception and in the following year went on to win the 1998 European Car of the Year award. The 156 saloon was discontinued in Europe late in 2005, while the Q4 Crosswagon continued in production until the end of 2007.

Cars were assembled at the Fiat Group factory in Pomigliano d'Arco, Italy and at a General Motors facility in Rayong, Thailand. Production in Thailand began in March 2002 and ran for only a couple of years. The cars produced there were targeted for the Asia-Pacific markets. Between 1996 and 2007, 673,435 units of the 156 were produced.

The 156 was available in saloon, Sportwagon (estate) and Crosswagon (crossover) bodystyles with seven engine configurations; it went through two facelifts, first in 2002 and then in 2003. The Sportwagon advertising campaign was made featuring actress Catherine Zeta-Jones.

In 2005, the 159 became the replacement for the 156.

1955 Oldsmobile Super 88 Convertible Welly 1:24











From Wikipedia:
In the 1955 model year, new sales records were achieved for the U.S. auto industry and Oldsmobile that would endure for a decade. Wide public acceptance of the division’s well-appointed “Go Ahead” styled models, which were fortified with an even more powerful 324-cu.in. overhead-valve Rocket V-8, propelled production to 583,179 cars being built.
Oldsmobile offered the 88 and Super 88 series on a 122-inch wheelbase and the Ninety-Eight on a 126-inch wheelbase. The entry-level 88 line featured a four-door sedan, two-door sedan or two-door Holiday coupe (hardtop). A 324-cu.in. two-barrel engine and three-speed manual transmission were standard with the four-barrel engine optional.

1970 Ferrari 512M Hot Wheels 1:64 Malaysia










El Ferrari 512 fue un automóvil de carreras relacionado con la serie P de prototipos Ferrari. Corrió entre los años 1970 y 1971, cuando fue retirado por un cambio en el reglamento. El nombre 512 proviene del uso de un motor de 5 litros y 12 cilindros en V. 

Ferrari solía competir con prototipos, hasta que en 1968 el reglamento limitó el tamaño del motor de los coches del Grupo 6 (prototipos) a 3,0 litros. Para la temporada de 1970, Ferrari decidió seguir la táctica de Porsche y su 917 de crear al menos 25 unidades del modelo, y así cumpliendo la normativa del Grupo 5 de coches deportivos, poder competir. Con ayuda del Grupo Fiat se llevó a cabo esta arriesgada apuesta. Los coches sobrantes fueron vendidos a clientes de la competición.
