1938 Phantom Corsair by Brooklin Models

 1938 Phantom Corsair by Brooklin Models

The Phantom Corsair is a prototype automobile built in 1938. It is a six-passenger 2-door sedan that was designed by Rust Heinz of the H. J. Heinz family and Maurice Schwartz of the Bohman & Schwartz coachbuilding company in Pasadena, California. Although sometimes dismissed as a failure because it never entered production, the Corsair is regarded as ahead of its time because of its futuristic features, and styling cues such as faired-in fenders and a low profile.

The Phantom Corsair's steel-and-aluminum body measured just 57 in (140 cm) in height. Rust Heinz planned to put the Phantom Corsair, which cost approximately $24,000 to produce in 1938[7] (equivalent to about $370,000 now).

The Phantom Corsair now resides in The Harrah Collection in Reno, Nevada. 

This Brooklin Model is one of the very easy to get models.

1937 Dodge Airflow Tanker Texaco Truck by Matchbox

1937 Dodge Airflow Tanker Texaco Truck by Matchbox Collectibles

The Dodge Airflow truck was a special request model truck that Dodge introduced in late 1934 and available through 1940. It used styling cues from Chrysler and DeSoto Airflow automobiles. Most of the units produced, a few hundred, were fitted with streamlined tank truck bodies, and were used by major oil companies, like Texaco, Socony-Vacuum Oil Company (Mobil) and Esso (Standard Oil of New Jersey).

Airflow trucks were based on standard Dodge models, so from an engineering point of view they were rather conventional, despite their striking look. They had waterfall grilles similar to Airflow cars. Several pieces still exist, mostly restored in automobile museums.
In 1990's, Matchbox honored THE PIONEERS OF PROGRESS TRUCKS COLLECTION in their Models of Yesteryear by presenting 6 die cast replicas. One of them is this model in bright red color with high quality paint finish and print graphic.

1951 Mercury Monterey 2-Door Coupe by Franklin Mint

An automobile marque of the Ford Motor Company, Mercury was founded in 1939 with the purpose to market entry-level-luxury vehicles that were slotted in between Ford-branded regular models and Lincoln-branded luxury vehicles. All Mercury models are today based on Ford platforms. The Mercury name is derived from ‘messenger of the gods' of Roman mythology. In the beginning years, Mercury was known for performance.

This Mercury Monterey (model 72C) was introduced in 1950 as a high-end two-door coupe as part of the Mercury Eight series in the same vein as the Ford Crestliner, the Lincoln Lido coupe and the Lincoln Cosmopolitan Capri coupe in order to compete with the hardtop coupes General Motors had introduced the previous model year.
This is the first 2-door Hardtop 1951
The 1951 Mercury’s are considered the all-time 50’s “Hoodlum” or “Bad Boy” car. Popularized by James Dean in the 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause (in black livery).

Franklin Mint model is painted as original in turquoise with a brown roof, it’s equipped with bumper guards, fender skirts, a winged hood mascot, full-size Mercury wheel covers and wide whitewall tires, all part of the Monterey formula helping to differentiate a higher-end vehicle from lesser models.
