CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG

Though there was once a real called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Ian Fleming used the name in his children's story for a magical motor which would float and fly as well as travel by road, and for film a car was literally created for the title role. Its appearance is that of a tropical "touring carriage" of motoring's early years, with its brass radiator, Marchal headlights, outside handbreak and "snake" horn. The bonnet conceals a modern Ford engine however, and of course, Caratacus Potts' special modifications which include wings and stabilisers-are essential additions.

From the Classic 1968 fantasy musical comes this detailed replica of the title car, which derives it's odd name from it's unique motor sounds. Measuring 14" in length, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fetures real rubber tires, removable wings, chrome exhaust pipes, chrome hood, and other chrome details.

HOT WHEELS 60th ANNIVERSARY FERRARI 125 S RED

The Ferrari 125 S (commonly called the 125 or 125 Sport) was the first vehicle produced and built by the famed Ferrari company of Modena, Italy. Although preceded by Enzo Ferrari's Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 of 1940, the 125 S was the first vehicle to bear the Ferrari name when it debuted on May 11, 1947 at the Piacenza racing circuit. Like the 815, it was a racing sports car, but unlike its Fiat-powered 8-cylinder predecessor, the 125 S had a new V12 engine (the "125") like most Ferrari cars of the following decades. The 125 S was replaced by the 159 S for 1947.

The 125 S used a steel tube-frame chassis and had a double wishbone suspension with transverse leaf springs in front with a live axle in the rear. Hydraulic power drum brakes were specified front and rear.

The 125 S was powered by Gioacchino Colombo's 1.5 L (1497 cc/91 in³) 60° V12. This engine produced 100 hp (74 kW) at 7,000 rpm with a compression ratio of 8.5:1. It was a dual overhead camshaft design with 2 valves per cylinder and three double-choke Weber 30DCF carburettors.

HOT WHEELS 60th ANNIVERSARY FERRARI 250 GT CA

This is a Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder. Designed for export to America in 1957. It was Scaglietti's interpretation of an open-top 250 GT. Aluminum was used in the hood, doors, and trunk lid, with steel specified elsewhere for most models, though a few aluminum-bodied racing versions were also built. The engine was the same as in the 250 Tour de France racing car with up to 240 hp (179 kW). All used the long 2600 mm (102.4 in) chassis. About 45 were made before it was replaced by the SWB version in 1960, a fact mentioned by Cameron Frye in the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day off." This film made that car famous. Today the car is worth in the neighborhood of 2-4 million dollars, a recent car selling for 1.2 million dollars at an RM Auction in Florida.

Since a replica of one of these called a "Modena" appeared in the 1980s as Cameron's father's dream car in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the Ferrari 250 GT California may be the most widely recognized of the various models produced.

This car was sold at a RM Auction during the Concorse d'Eligance on August 18, 2007 at monterey for 4.5 million dollars, setting a record for sale price at the auction

Review By Melissa N. Macdonald "shopping mommy" (North Myrtle Beach, SC)
Having quite a few other Ferrari models for our son, I was disappointed to receive this one and it have a plastic rear hood, while the rest of the car is die cast metal. None of the other Ferrari models we collected have plastic parts, except of course windows, mirrors. Otherwise, it is a great car to have. Very sexy, just like the real Enzo.

HOT WHEELS FERRARI 60th ANNIVERSARY ENZO

The car that bear the Ferrari name, the brainchild of Enzo Ferrari, born in Modena in 1898, have long had a cult status with model collectors. Ferrari was a racing driver, spending time with Alfa Romeo. His first cars, built in Maranello, just south of Modena, appeared in 1947. All Ferrari cars bear the famous Cavallino Rampante, or prancing horse, presented to Enzo after a race win in 1923.

The range of models is enormous, with particularly fine examples being available in 1/43rd scale. Some range, such as Art Model of Italy, comprise only models of Ferraris.

In 1999 Mattel obtained a licence to produce models and other memorabilia linked with Ferrari.

FORD ANGLIA

The first Ford car was built in 1896. However, the Ford Motor Company was created in 1903 by Henry Ford in Detroit, while the British division of the Ford Motor Company was established in 1911 at Trafford Park, Manchester. It was in 1931 that production started at the plant which most will associate with Ford, at Dagenham.

Henry Ford always wanted to produce cars for the masses. The Model T Ford first appeared in 1912, achieving the aim, for over 16 million were built. Production continued until 1927, when its successor was launched the Model A.

Various other Ford Anglia has been produced as toy or models, Launced in 1959, the car which made money where the Mini did not, Ford’s Anglia was in many ways just as an important automotive landmark of that time. This Vanguards’ model captures that swept back shape particularly well and the bumper and grille reproduction is simply superb. If we were going to nit-pick, then it concerns the coloured front indicator lenses used, which are too early for a 1959 car. But a fine model nonetheless.

THE HISTORY OF THE CAR IN THE DAY OF ASSASSINATION

On the event of assassination of the President of America, John F. Kennedy in 1961 in this circumstance, result to no manufacturer has produced a model of the car he was killed in- until now. Minichamps has broken the taboo.

The readers whose 50 years up might remember the circumstances of a shocking the world. They’ll know that on November 22, 1963, while riding through the streets of Dallas in a 1961 Lincoln Continental special parade vehicle, Kennedy was shot three times by lone gunman, Lee Harvey Odwald, who was hidden on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. They’ll know that Oswald himself was killed days later by Mafia-connected nightclub owner, Jack Ruby.

For an interested of the collectors who collect the model cars. The car itself was specifically built to show off the President and so had a number of unique elements, including two radio telephones, extra jump seats, interior floodlights and retractable steps for Secret Service agents. It even had a hydraulically operated platform which could raise the President so the crowd could see him better. After the assassination, it was rebuilt with a permanent removable top to incorporate transparent armour, flat-proof tyres, improved telecommunications, inflammable fuel and a bigger engine. It continued in this new form, protecting Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter, before being retired in 1977.

Now, let’s mention to this model, Lincoln Continental X-100 was produced in 1999 by Paul’s Model Art Company, under the name of Minichamps, the production of the model cars. It scale is 1:43; the length is 15 cm. the width is 4.7 cm. It weighs 440 gram, including casting.

No models is perfect. The Lincoln is no exception to this rule, although it doesn’t feel quite fair pointing them out on such an excellent model. The most obvious error is the lack of floodlight on each side, just in front of the wing mirrors. The details of the wind shield should be a better one. However, this one of the model car has been noted in the page of history. If Kennedy has survived today’s world may have been very different. But he didn’t and all we have left of him are pictures, a few film reels, memories and now this model, as reminders of the past.
