Famously, the Pontiac® GTO is considered the first true "muscle car" produced by Detroit. They tried to stay ahead of the competition, and with 96,946 cars sold, the 1966 GTO provided record sales. Here, great design and unmatched performance were combined. And with the Tri-Power engine, the car completed the quarter-mile in 14.05 seconds.

Even more than 20 years after its decommissioning and almost 60 years after its first flight, myths still surround the SR-71 Blackbird.
What is certain, however, is that the spy plane developed at Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works on behalf of the CIA was the first aircraft invisible to enemy radar and the fastest and highest-flying aircraft in the world to this day.

1951 Henry J Ford Gasser
Product number: 14514
1/25th scale
Length:171mm
Width:70mm/ Height:67mm
From the mid-1950s, the gasser class was one of the most popular categories in drag racing. Small cars with short wheelbases were perfect for hot rodders to convert to gassers. You stripped them down, jacked them up, replaced the engine and off they went. The small size of the Henry J made it perfect for a gasser.
The Henry J was manufactured by Kaiser-Frazer Corp. and was only available for 4 years. The Henry J was named after company president Henry J Kaiser and was sold from 1950 to 1954. Its small size was not what consumers were looking for and only just over 7,000 were sold. The Gasser class started around this time and were built until the mid 1970s. They were named Gasser because they ran on gasoline rather than methanol or nitromethane. They were not as fast as nitro cars, but were very popular with spectators.
Authentic representation of the following versions with decals included:
Detailed 427 SOHC engine.
Opening doors and opening hood
Complete gasser racing suspension and optional wheelie bars
True to original Ansen wheels & Simpson drag chute pack
