Continuation Monday! Here we have a factory-built Morris Mini Cooper S from Southeastern Finecast. The hood can be removed to show the engine details. Enjoy!
MG Wednesday! Here we have a 1949 MG TC Roadster from the Franklin Mint. The MG TC Roadster was powered by a 1.3-liter XPAG inline-four engine that produced 54 horsepower and was mated to a four-speed manual transmission. It had a top speed of around 78 miles per hour and could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about 22 seconds. Enjoy!
Studebaker/Packard Friday! Today we have a 1958 Packard Hawk from the Danbury Mint. The 1958 Packard Hawk was a unique and rare car, as only 588 of them were ever produced. It was also the last car to bear the Packard name, as the company went bankrupt shortly after its release. One unique feature of the Packard Hawk was its exterior styling, which was designed by famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy. It had a sleek, aerodynamic look with a distinctive nosecone and a large tailfin at the back. The car also had a supercharged V8 engine, which was capable of producing up to 275 horsepower, making it one of the fastest cars of its time. Enjoy!
Special Saturday ! Here we have a 1968 Ford Mustang California Special from the Franklin Mint. This is an Early Production sample so it is a little rough.
In case you didn’t know, the 1968 Mustang California Special, also known as the GT/CS, was a limited edition Mustang model that was only produced for one year. It was a collaboration between Ford and Shelby Automotive, and was designed to be a special edition Mustang specifically for the California market.
One unique feature of the 1968 Mustang California Special is its exterior styling. It had a unique fiberglass trunk lid and rear taillight panel, which were designed to mimic the look of the Shelby Mustang. The GT/CS also had a unique front grille and fog lights, and was available in a limited range of colors.
Another unique feature of the 1968 Mustang California Special is that it came with a special handling package, which included a larger front sway bar, heavier duty rear springs, and adjustable traction bars. This made the GT/CS a more nimble and responsive car on the road. Enjoy!
Very cool pre-production model Lu. Ford also produced a similar car for the Colorado/Rocky Mountain market called the High Country Special. It is essentially a GT/CS with a High Country logo on the side scoop and no quarter panel script.
Mustang Monday! Today we have a 1966 Ford Mustang from the Danbury Mint. The 1966 model year marked the first year that the Mustang was available as a convertible, a fastback, or a coupe. Enjoy!
