1932 Eliot Ness Cadillac® V-16 Phaeton       Make the ultimate crimebuster #1 on your most wanted list. Ride with Eliot Ness and his Untouchables through the streets of Chicago in the Caddy™ that toppled the underworld! Every detail is captured in true-to-life accuracy -- from the vintage Cadillac hood ornament to the exposed door hinges and running boards. Working features include doors and hood that open and close, steering and road wheels that turn, and a fully functional suspension system. This 1:24 scale re-creation of Ness' awesome 16-cylinder Cadillac is built to perfection from more than 150 separate parts. The V-16 Cadillac® was a stylish luxury car with a reputation as one of the best driving machines of its day. What’s more, it was powerful, responsive and reliable. The massive V-16 engine featured in-line overhead valves and hydraulic valve silencers. The Cadillac® V-16 was a custom-built classic that offered the very best in comfort and security. Hydraulic shocks at all four corners helped produce a smooth ride. Its mechanical brakes stopped the car on a dime, using a complex system of rods, shafts, arms and cables. This solid Cadillac® used vacuum power to assist the brakes, move the fuel and run the windshield wipers. Eliot Ness was a courageous man of strong ideals. He chose nine rough-and-ready agents to take on Al Capone and his criminal empire. They not only chose the right tools and firearms, but they also paid close attention to the type of vehicles they drove. They used a ten-ton flat-bed truck with a reinforced steel bumper to break down doors and haul equipment. Ness also selected a Cadillac® V-16 PhaetonTM to make his raids. This automobile was the ultimate triumph of Cadillac’s® famous V-type principle: the power is multiplied and subdivided into a continuous flow, constantly at full-volume efficiency, flexibility and— most important to Eliot Ness—provided instant responsiveness. Ness and his team studied the Capone syndicate, and targeted the illegal stills and breweries that were operating throughout Chicago. They planned their raids carefully. Ness used this elegant and dependable car to hound Capone and impede his bootleg operations. In his first six months on the job, Ness closed down nearly 20 distilleries worth more than $1 million. Capone reacted by trying to bribe Ness and his agents, but each time the money was thrown back in his face. Newspapers published these stories and began referring to Ness and his team as “The Untouchables.” Similarly, the Cadillac® V-16 was “untouchable” in many ways. In fact, there was so much excitement about its debut that a crowd of over 20,000 elbowed each other just to catch a glimpse of the new “Supercar” at the New York Auto Show in January of 1930. Eliot Ness and his 1932 Cadillac® V-16 PhaetonTM — both legendary — and both classics!     Technical Specifications Engine: 45 Degree OHV V-16 Displacement: 452 Cubic Inches Horsepower: 185 HP @ 3400 RPM Bore & Stroke: 3 x 4 Inches Torque: 290 FT-LBS @ 4300 Compression: 5.35:1 Wheelbase: 148 Inches Length: 222.5 Inches Weight: 4685 LBS Operating Features Doors: As on the original Cadillac® V-16 PhaetonTM, the front and the rear doors are hinged back to back and may be opened.

1966 Shelby Super Snake Limited Edition 5000       Only one Supersnake® remains in existence, and in 2007 it was auctioned off at a dizzying $5.5 million! Now, the rarest of the rare can be yours for much, much less…in a precision-engineered classic as awesome as the real thing. Built by hand from more than 150 separate components, this superb model is crafted with the same passion as the legendary Carroll Shelby® devoted to the original. Every detail is authentic, down to the side-mounted exhausts and the precise re-creation of the powerful Shelby Cobra 427 S/C® engine under the hood. We’ve even duplicated the world-famous Cobra logo on the hood. Packed with realistic working features, painted and polished by hand, it’s ready to roar its way into your collection now! Limited Edition of 5000 worldwide We all have our dream cars. The legendary Carroll Shelby® is no exception. Back in the late Sixties, he made his dream come true by taking his blatantly awesome CSX 3015 competition roadster—built for the European racing circuit—and increasing its already formidable power with the addition of twin Paxton Superchargers, boosting the horsepower to a near-mythic 800. He didn’t stop there. The fitting of a lightweight competition body with decidedly European flair infused alluring beauty to the ferocious beast under the hood. With the further addition of bumpers, mufflers and a windshield, Shelby’s® magus opus was classified as a street-legal 427 Cobra S/C® (S/C for Semi-Competition). Only two were ever built, and only one remains selling at auction for a nifty $5,500,000! This is the car re-created for you now by the engineers of Franklin Mint Precision Models. And like the actual Supersnake®, it’s a study in pure power and styling that will bring a touch of excitement to any collection.

1939 Duesenberg Coupe Simone Midnight Ghost Limited Edition 1500     Issued on the 10th anniversary of the car that never was, this incredible die-cast model is the creation of acclaimed designer Raffi Minasian. Inspired by the modernist lines of the Art Deco movement, it captures all the romance of a bygone era. The graceful sweep of the fenders, the luxuriously appointed interior complete with a crystal-clear steering wheel - every detail of the designer's vision brought unforgettably to life. Hand-painted an elegant Midnight Ghost, this special anniversary Limited Edition bears the designer's signature on a plaque mounted to the undercarriage. The Coupe Simone – A Brief History The story of the Duesenberg Coupe Simone and Emmett-Armand Coachworks was first revealed in 1996 at The Franklin Mint Museum exhibit, "Crossroads." Chronicled by Designers Roger Hardnock and Raffi Minasian, this unique presentation revealed the recently discovered remnants of the coachworks, a diary of the events leading up to the delivery of the Simone in Paris, and drawings of this unusual car under development. In 1998, Franklin Mint Precision Models released the first and only 1:24 scale die-cast replica of the Coupe Simone. Collectors throughout the precision model community have welcomed this innovative and dynamic model as an integral part of their collections, sharing the story and unique history of this imaginative vehicle. In celebration of the ten-year anniversary of the release of the Duesenberg Coupe Simone, Franklin Mint Precision Models is proud to present the Duesenberg Coupe Simone "Midnight Ghost" 10th Anniversary Signature Edition. History of the Commemorative Paint Scheme – The "Midnight Ghost" Emmett-Armand Coachworks had been working on the Coupe Simone for more than a year when plans began to develop for new projects. In 1938, with the growing interest in special-bodied cars, Emmett became immersed in the business and promotion of the coachworks throughout the Eastern States. At home, Armand focused on the details of the coachworks while Emmett traveled as far West as Chicago, engaging new clients through many of his extended family contacts. As the car was prepared for the initial showing to Gui LaRouche, Armand was notified that the chassis was being shipped, and within two weeks they could expect delivery. Upon arrival, Emmett and Armand were shocked to find the chassis equipped with a fully prepped, supercharged engine. Seeing this opportunity, Armand convinced Emmett to present the car to LaRouche in "sporting trim." The two worked several nights preparing the car in a daring black paint scheme, with blackwall tires and highly polished supercharger. LaRouche, a wealthy cosmetics king and patron for the project, arrived at the coachworks late in the evening. Had the train been on time, LaRouche might have arrived earlier and appreciated the subtlety of the metallic black and silver trim as it glowed in the early sunset light. Instead, he was not pleased with the "rather evil appearance," calling upon Emmett and Armand to "please research a color combination more becoming to that of his refined tastes." Emmett, attempting to divert LaRouche's discontent, invited him to take the car for a drive. An excerpt from Armand's diary recalls the results: "Although the two had only left a few minutes before, their early return was punctuated by the fact that Emmett was driving. LaRouche exited the car visibly shaken as Emmett came around to steady him, stumbling with his walking cane. We offered LaRouche (more accustomed to chauffeurs) some calming tea as he confessed that he had only driven a few times in cars featuring no more than 20 or 30 horsepower. His ghostly white face and trembling hands convinced us that the supercharged version of this car would be nothing more than a waste and certainly a hazard to our client. Emmett and I removed the supercharger and offered it for return to the Duesenberg Company. Curiously, they encouraged us to retain the unit should we have a use for it in future projects." Emmett and Armand would continue the development of the Simone, eventually confirming the final violet and apple paint scheme now well known to collectors throughout the model community. The original concept of the "LaRouche Sport," however, would forever be referred to throughout Armand’s diary as the "Midnight Ghost." About Raffi Minasian Raffi Minasian has worked with the Franklin Mint Precision Models Design Team to personally prepare the detailed specifications and historic references for this Limited Edition. Raffi served as Design Director for Franklin Mint Precision Models from 1995-1999, developing over 300 different models during his tenure and continues to develop models and automotive concepts for a wide range of clients. The Franklin Mint is proud to offer this commemorative Signature Edition of the Duesenberg Coupe Simone as it first appeared in the original "Midnight Ghost" color scheme, carrying the supercharged engine and special trim. The "Midnight Ghost" continues the ongoing legacy of Emmett-Armand Coachworks - celebrating the imagination and spirit of designers and innovators throughout the history of the automobile.

Now, to once again honor America’s favorite annual kickoff to Summer, Franklin Mint Precision Models is proud to introduce the 2008 Corvette® LS3 Indy 500® Pace Car in two special Limited Editions! Painted in basic black over silver checkered-flag coves, reminiscent of the first Corvette® Pace Car in 1978, these pace cars lit up the track with their all-new LS3 motors churning out 430 horsepower and a whopping 424 foot pounds of torque. Franklin Mint Precision Models is proud to announce two exclusive Limited Edition die-cast replicas to honor this historic race.

But you better hurry, as these models are strictly limited to just 5,000 each, worldwide. The 2008 Indianapolis 500® was a unique and landmark year in Corvette® Pace Car history. This would be the 10th – and 5th consecutive – time that a Corvette® was used to pace this nostalgic event. No other car can lay claim to those attainments. 2008 also marked the 30th anniversary since the first Corvette® was used as a Pace Car in 1978. Additionally, this year would be the first time in Pace Car history that more than one car was used to start the race. The 2008 Corvette® LS3 convertible would be one of the three Corvettes® selected to lead the 33 cars and drivers of the 92nd Indy 500® across the “Yard of Bricks.” To commemorate this 30th anniversary, the '08 LS3 convertible would be painted in basic black over silver checker-flag cove graphics and traditional Indianapolis 500® badges, reminiscent of its 1978 predecessor. However, appearance is where the similarities would end. Performance-wise, this car would literally be miles ahead of the first Corvette® Pace Car, with nearly twice the horsepower of the L82 and suspension and handling technology that was not even dreamed of in 1978. Additionally, the LS3 convertible was equipped with a 6-speed, clutchless paddle shift automatic-mode transmission. To add further distinction, the track car and limited edition replica cars that would be sold to the public would each be signed by two-time Indy 500® winner and world champion, Emerson Fittipaldi.

1911 Rolls-Royce Tourer 2009 Limited Edition 1500       Now, you can own the definitive precision model of this historic Rolls, hailed as the smoothest driving automobile of its day. Every distinctive feature of the original is preserved for all time in a model that stands up to the closest inspection. From the sumptuous coach to the perfectly detailed re-creation of the six cylinder, L-head engine. The 1911 Rolls-Royce was a notable car for a variety of reasons. Not the least of these was the introduction of the renowned Rolls-Royce mascot—the "Spirit of Ecstasy" hood ornament. This identifiable mascot—the longest-lived mascot ever used—was created in 1911 by noted English sculptor, Charles Sykes. It is said that Lord Montagu’s secretary, a Miss Thornton, posed as a model for the winged figure, although no proof of this exists. In fact, the figure more closely resembles the artist himself. So pleased were company officials with the mascot that in 1920 they entered it into a world competition in Paris and won first prize. The first automobile graced with the elegant Spirit of Ecstasy mascot was a 1911 Rolls-Royce. And this symbol of elegance and excellence was perfectly suited. The 1911 Rolls-Royce 40/50 hp automobile (Tourer designated the body type) was innovative in a variety of ways. One was the “Slipper Flywheel,” a device which took the form of a friction-disc clutch and flywheel mounted at the front of the crankshaft. The “Slipper Flywheel” became a standard component of Rolls-Royce motorcoaches from 1911 to the present day. Yet Rolls-Royce’s success was not based on innovation—the history of automobiles is filled with radical innovations that fell by the wayside. Instead, Rolls-Royce concentrated on details. Meticulous attention was paid to every aspect of construction: gears were cut to finer accuracy than anywhere in the world; more skilled workmen than in other factories were employed; and only the finest bodies from the finest coachbuilders were fitted onto the Rolls-Royce chassis. The result was an automobile that rode more smoothly with less trouble than any car of its time. Now, the extraordinary 1911 Rolls-Royce Tourer is re-created in a remarkable die-cast replica from Franklin Mint Precision Models. Accurate in every detail, from the sumptuous coach to the six-cylinder engine to the unmistakable “Spirit of Ecstasy” mascot on the hood, your 1911 Rolls-Royce Tourer is a handsome re-creation that captures the very spirit of this automobile which holds such a revered place in the annals of automotive history. Limited Edition of 1500 Technical Specifications Engine: Six-Cylinders, In-Line, L-Head Displacement: 429 Cubic Inches Horsepower: Estimated 48 BHP @ 1,250 RPM Wheelbase: 135.5 Inches Weight: Typically 3,360 Pounds Carburetion: Rolls-Royce Two-Jet, Water-Heated, Semi-Displacement Ignition: Dual with Magneto and Trembler Coil Transmission: Sliding Pinion with Cone Clutch, Fully Floating Live Axle perating Features Steering: The front wheels can be positioned for display.

1933 Duesenberg Model J Victoria     A bold statement of luxury and grand touring, this custom-bodied Duesenberg was the hit of the Paris Salon when it first appeared in 1932. Often the car of choice among the Hollywood elite, Duesenbergs represented the finest in American cars. Trimmed with high-contrasting ivory interior against royal metallic luster red paint, this stunning Duesenberg is the pinnacle of automotive art and fashion. As with all great cars, there are always great stories. For Duesenberg, there are not only great stories but personalities associated with one of the finest automobiles of the 20th century. These stories remind us of the magnificence of the designers, builders and patrons of these fine cars. In 1932, all of France was stunned as the special-bodied Fernandez and Darrin Duesenberg appeared at the Paris Salon. Fernandez had been a well-known coachbuilder with European designs to his credit, and Howard "Dutch" Darrin had made significant inroads in both U.S. and European markets with his firm, Hibbard and Darrin. In 1931, Darrin dissolved his partnership with Hibbard and began working with Fernandez. One of their first major European contributions to the world of coachbuilt automobiles was built on a stunning, long-wheelbase 1932 Duesenberg Model J chassis. Resplendent in metallic red with contrasting ivory interior trim and featuring an elegant three-position landau roof, this Duesenberg would later be made in two (perhaps three) otherconfigurations from 1932 through 1933. At some point in the history of these rare cars, a two-toned blue and black car became attributed to movie star Greta Garbo. Although she persisted in denying this, the legend of the Garbo Duesenberg continued as part of the mystique of this illusive actress. Some speculated that her denial of the car was due in part to not wanting to be recognized as she was driven in it. The Garbo mystery could very well be due in part to her friendship with French film star Suzy Vernon, who owned and was pictured many times with the blue and black Model J Duesenberg known as the "Garbo." Some speculate that this is how the legend began. Today, both cars are regarded as some of the finest coachbuilt cars ever built upon a Duesenberg chassis. The original Paris Salon car has been fully restored to original condition and is currently in a private collection. The Franklin Mint is proud to present the original Paris Salon 1933 Duesenberg Model J Victoria with coachwork by Fernandez and Darrin just as it appeared in 1932 in its original paint and trim scheme.

1933 Ford Deluxe Tudor Police Car w/Trailer       "Calling all Cars. Calling all Cars." Your ticket to police excitement can be heard through the roar of the siren as this 1933 Ford Tudor police car races through Chicago in pursuit of mob bosses and scofflaws. Feel the gangster danger, the ratt-a-tatt of the Tommy Gun and the sound of victory as the long arm of the law prevails and calm is restored. Your 1933 Ford Tudor police car comes complete with a loaded service trailer with period-correct accessories and vintage signage. In the 1930s, the police had a formidable job. Due in part to Prohibition, organized crime was rampant in many U.S. cities. Chicago was the home or operating base for much of this illegal activity. The Chicago police had to contend with the mob syndicate and infamous personalities like Al Capone and John Dillinger, who operated illegal liquor stills and breweries. Daily bank robberies were not unusual. Police raids were commonplace and many times the mob was better armed than the good guys. One key element toward the success of the police back then - and today - was their vehicles. The police had to "fight fire with fire." They needed a chase car that was, at the very least, as fast and reliable as the mobsters' cars. Since the 1933 Ford Deluxe V-8 was the get-away car of choice for many crime bosses, law enforcement incorporated the same vehicle into their stable. Among the fans of the Ford was 1933 "Public Enemy Number One," John Dillinger. He once wrote Henry Ford an unsolicited testimonial, praising the performance and styling of his own "hot" '33 Deluxe. As such, there was no better police chase vehicle than the 1933 Ford Deluxe V-8. The thick steel on the doors served to slow the barrage of bullets from ensuing machine gun battles, the 221 cubic inch V-8 engine with aluminum heads gave the needed horsepower to carry reinforcements and ammunition to the scene. With a top speed of 78 mph, the ’33 Ford Deluxe V-8 police cars leveled the playing field. The Franklin Mint is pleased to offer this 1:24 scale die-cast tribute to the law enforcement vehicle of times past. Our Chicago "mob squad" automobile comes fully equipped to handle the most ruthless of gangsters and mob bosses. Not only does it faithfully replicate the most coveted crime-fighting cruiser of the day, it also comes with a fully stocked arsenal in tow with the era-correct police trailer. Technical Specifications Engine: 90-Degree V-Eight Displacement: 221 Cubic Inches Compression Ratio: 6.3:1 Horsepower: 75 @ 3800 RPM Transmission: Sliding Gear / Floor Shifter; 3 Forward / 1 Reverse Brakes: Mechanical internal expanding Wheelbase: 112 inches Operating Features: Doors: As on the real car, the front doors are hinged at the rear and swing backward.

But by 1966, you could order your GT-350® in one of several colors, and this special Limited Edition model is offered in one of the hottest factory color combos – Sapphire Blue with white stripes.  Each precision replica is hand assembled from more than 200 separate components and packed with authentic details that are the hallmarks of Franklin Mint Precision Models. Every detail of the 306 horsepower 289 V-8 is replicated, right down to the spark plug wires. This model is so realistic, even the hood is made of real fiberglass – just like on the original car. Of course, this model also depicts the operating features discriminating collectors expect from a precision-engineered die-cast model, including operable steering, functional suspension and doors, hood and trunk that open and close.  April of 1964 saw the introduction of the Mustang, which immediately became one of the most popular cars ever sold by Ford. By August of that year, Ford approached Carroll Shelby® and asked him to experiment with the Mustang 2+2 Fastback to see if it could be made into a potential SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) racer. The result was the Shelby GT-350TM. It was a noisy, bear of a car–but exciting and fast. And it did win.  The 1965 GT-350® was such a huge success, Carroll Shelby® continued the regular production to include a 1966 model year. The only significant changes were mostly cosmetic and a few improvements for driver comfort and safety. Among them was the addition of a functional side scoop on the quarter-panel coves for channeled air to cool the rear brakes. A Plexiglas C-pillar window replaced the extractor vents, improving the large blind spot which menaced the Mustang Fastback and Shelby® in 1965. Additionally, the dual exhaust was re-routed to exit the rear of the car, which reduced the interior noise. With its new look and creature comforts, there were no compromises in performance. The race-bred 1966 GT-350® continued to be one of the most popular and widely recognized high-performance brands in the industry.  Franklin Mint Precision Models is proud to present this finely detailed and accurate reproduction of the 1966 Shelby GT-350TM.  Limited Edition of 1966  Technical Specifications Engine: OHV V-8 Displacement: 289 Cubic Inches Horsepower: 306 BHP @ 6000 RPM Bore & Stroke: 4.00 x 2.87 Inches Torque: 329 LB-FT @ 4200 RPM Compression Ratio: 10.0:1 Transmission: Borg-Warner 4-Speed Quarter-Mile ET: 15.60 Seconds at 94 MPH Operating Features Steering Wheel: The front wheels can be positioned for display.

Franklin Mint Precision Models is proud to present the "D" series Chrysler 300 letter car that has it all.

Although many people did not check this option when it came time to order, the automotive press made notice of yet another advancement in the Chrysler line. Now, the 1958 Chrysler 300D Convertible "Beautiful Brute" is re-created in an authorized, precision-engineered 1:24 scale die-cast replica, crafted in authentic detail by Franklin Mint Precision Models.

1960 Chevrolet® Corvair - 50th Anniversary Limited Edition 1500     In October 2, 1959, Chevrolet® introduced its first Corvair™. It was a radical departure from what Americans were used to seeing come off the production lines. Its unique air-cooled, rear-mounted engine, rear-mounted transaxle drive, suspension system and compact size set it apart from the large “land yachts” that Detroit had been producing for so long. Although the car was only a little more than four feet high and just fifteen feet in length, it was built to seat six and was offered in both two-door coupe and four-door sedan models. In February 1960 at the Chicago Auto Show, a sporty two-door club coupe Corvair™ was introduced as a show car—the Corvair™ Monza. The production version appeared within months. Based on the Corvair™ 700 Deluxe series, the Monza featured bucket seats (which now made it a 5-passenger car), optional sun roof and folding rear seat. It was available in a choice of three different interior trims and came with an array of amenities—from dual horns to exterior chrome molding. In all, 11,926 models of the 1960 Corvair™ Monza would be produced. Named Motor Trend magazine’s "Car of the Year" for 1960, the Corvair™ was a perhaps the most significant automobile of the postwar era—and the Monza was the sportiest of them all. Now, in celebration of the 50-year anniversary since the launch of the Corvair™, this iconic engineering marvel is re-created in a precision-engineered 1:24 scale model––the 1960 Chevrolet® Corvair™ 50th Anniversary Limited Edition.

Smokey and the Bandit Black Pontiac® Trans Am Limited Edition 1977     The Most Legendary Film Car in History. Where would the Pontiac® Trans Am be without ’70s heartthrob Burt Reynolds and his iconic film, "Smokey and the Bandit"? This classic 1977 comedy charmed the world with its groundbreaking chase scenes, loveable “back country” cast and the adorable antics of a runaway bride...played by America’s sweetheart, Sally Field. But few cars have had more Big Screen time in history than the black Trans Am in Smokey…and no other vehicle has singlehandedly defined an entire era of cowboy Muscle Cars. Only weeks after the movie release, the Trans Am became a national icon. Sales almost doubled in one year. In fact, during the summer "Smokey and the Bandit" was released, car sales jumped 30,000 units from 68,745 to 93,341. The following year, in 1978, sales skyrocketed even higher, putting over 100,000 Trans Ams on the road. While the car chases in the film are not the absolute technical best, the Pontiac® Trans Am stole scene after scene and was undeniably the most pervasive and appealing aspect of the film. Now a movie legend over 30 years old, the word “Trans Am” still undeniably calls to mind the awesome black Trans Am in this immortal movie, with its “screaming chicken” on the hood – and of course, the brawny star behind the wheel...Burt Reynolds. Our 1977 Pontiac® Trans Am is a precision-engineered scale model of the Smokey and the Bandit Black Trans Am. This movie-legend model is assembled entirely by hand and features operable steering, functional hood, trunk and doors — with the famous “screaming chicken” hood design. Now a movie legend over 30 years old, the name "Trans Am" is still synonymous with Smokey and The Bandit. Limited Edition of only 1977 worldwide.

1933 Duesenberg Twenty Grand       Own a classic from the Golden Age of Automobiles. Wow, What a Duesy! The most luxurious Duesenberg ever, the world knew it as the 20 Grand. For in 1933, it had the bold price tag of $20,000—far beyond the reach of the millions who first saw it at the Chicago World’s Fair. Today, its value would be in the millions. Now, the most elegant Duesy ever can be yours—in the form of this sensational die-cast replica. Handcrafted with 148 separate parts, it’s authentic to the smallest detail—from the famed Duesy hood ornament to the genuine instrument panels with full array of switches, gauges and levers. Painted a posh champagne silver, it’s a certified classic, just like the original. The year is 1933. In Chicago, crowds gather at the Century of Progress Exposition, a World's Fair unlike any other. There, the future is presented to a nation weary of its depression and finding relief in the presentation of better times to come. As visitors flock to the Travel and Transportation Building, they are mesmerized by the stunning 1933 Duesenberg SJ. This motor car is not only the most luxurious Duesenberg ever built, it is also the most expensive. And its price would also become the motor car's namesake—the Duesenberg "Twenty Grand". Built expressly for the World’s Fair in Chicago, the "Twenty Grand" would steal the show as millions shared in the aura of grandeur and wealth that surrounded such a car. Even the colour, described as metallic platinum, suggested the sterling quality of such a machine, and perhaps indirectly, pointed toward a silver lining on the black cloud of the Depression. Chief designer, Gordon Buehrig, designed the "Twenty Grand:, adapting several of the earlier coach styles, and the noted coach-builder Rollston Body Company, made the design a reality. With polished stainless steel tubing covering the exposed exhaust pipes, and an aerodynamically slanted windscreen, the luxurious "Twenty Grand" exuded a feeling of speed, as well as grandeur. Its long and sleek lines, uninterrupted by superfluous extravagance, elegantly belied the power that lay under the bonnet—a 320-horsepower supercharged engine that was claimed to have pushed the machine to speeds as high as 130 miles per hour. The power and elegance that were revealed by the exterior were complemented by the sumptuousness of the interior. The "armchair" type seats were upholstered in broadcloth bounded with silver patent leather. Instrument panels, in the front and back seats, were panelled in two-tone burl walnut with silver inlay. Only one was ever built. And perhaps a car as unparalleled as the 1933 Duesenberg SJ "Twenty Grand" should be alone in its class. Today it is part of the Merle Norman Beauty Collection in the San Sylmar Museum where it is on exhibition. The Duesenberg name connoted quality and style. The 1933 Duesenberg SJ connoted more than that—it was a machine of dreams, of fantasies, of "Twenty Grand".

1930 Al Capone's Armored Cadillac®       In this car, Public Enemy #1 was untouchable! He could afford the best. And that's what he drove. The most infamous criminal of all, Al Capone drove a luxurious and powerful 1930 Cadillac® V-16 Imperial Sedan. Presented by Franklin Mint Precision Models in association with Cadillac Motor Car Division, this die-cast model is hand-assembled from more than 200 separate parts and packed with authentic working features. It has been re-created in astonishing detail as Scarface's bulletproof "Fortress on Wheels." Al Capone. Scarface. Public Enemy Number One. Born in Brooklyn in 1889, he came to Chicago in 1919, and for the next decade controlled Chicago's racketeering with shrewdness and violence. Although in Miami at the time, Capone was credited with masterminding one of the most notorious mob hits in history - The St. Valentine's Day Massacre - when his men, posing as policemen, machine-gunned down seven members of the "Bugs" Moran mob on February 14, 1929. As Capone's power and influence spread, law officials became increasingly determined to put Capone behind bars. One official, Frank J. Loesch, decided to forgo violence or legal action and instead instituted a device that would bring men like Capone and their activities to light. Loesch's list of twenty-eight Public Enemies was circulated to police chiefs, sheriffs, and law enforcement officers, and was published in the Chicago Tribune on April 24, 1930. At the top of the list - Public Enemy #1 - was Al Capone. During his heyday in the Twenties and Thirties - the target not only of the law but of rival gangs as well - Capone could be seen riding the streets of Chicago in what can only be described as a fortress on wheels. A Cadillac was made to his own specifications and loaded with such "amenities" as bullet-proof glass, custom-designed portholes to accommodate blazing machine guns, boiler-plate panels that made it all but impregnable, a drop pocket under the floor for peppering the road with tacks and a spray gun under the car that would leave an oil slick waiting for pursuing vehicles. Ultimately, Capone was jailed in 1931 for tax evasion. Released in 1939, he settled at his estate near Miami. He died on January 25, 1947.

1966 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C® in Aluminum         A sensational collectible depicting the last of the street Cobras®! Carroll Shelby™ pushed American racing to the limits back in the '50s and '60s, and created what many consider the greatest contribution to the world of speed: The Cobra®, a trail-blazing combination of ultra-lightweight aluminum and flashy Euro styling with a brawny American V-8 engine. Give yourself the opportunity to demonstrate your passion for speed with a spectacular 1:24 scale, precision model of the "street legal" version of the Cobra® -- the 427 S/C™. It's crafted in unpainted aluminum, just like Shelby's® own. And you'll find true-to-life details, like doors, hood and trunk that open and close. Steering wheel that turns the front wheels. Authentic materials used in the seats, like real leather upholstery. A highly detailed engine -- accurate down to the spark plug wires. Even the tread on the tires perfectly matches the original! Generally, you have to choose between joy and power. But when Carroll Shelby introduced the world to the Cobra 427 S/C lightweight roadster in the early 1960's, power and joy turned out to be two sides of the same coin. For the true roadster aficionado, nothing has ever been built to compare to the Cobra. Even to this day, the Shelby® Cobra stands out. This limited production sports car deserves its designation as an automotive classic because it demands your full attention. It looks great; it sounds mean; and it drives like a demon. In fact, it may well be the most powerful, the most attractive, and the most thrilling front-engine roadster ever manufactured for sale to the public. The Shelby® Cobra was born in a flash of insight, became cloaked in clouds of controversy, and remains enshrouded in layers of mystery. To understand the Cobra mystique, you must first start with its creator. Carroll Shelby was a Texan who flew planes, raced cars, and brokered some great automotive ideas. Cobra production began in 1962 and ended in 1967. At first, this thinly disguised road racer featured a 260 V-8 engine (soon expanded to a 289 V-8) inside its sleek European-style body. Shelby® produced 630 of this model. Then, in 1965, this beautiful beast got even more power when the 427 cid V-8 racing engine was added. At some point in production, the 427 was replaced with the 428 Police Interceptor engine: 348 were 427’s and 26 of these were designated S/C for street competition. The S/C was the ultimate Cobra. As awesome as the original created by Carroll Shelby™! Elite precision model collectible captured in 1:24 scale Powerful display piece in unpainted aluminum, just like the original Hand-assembled from more than 150 separate components Authentic detail and working features Real leather upholstery Technical Specifications Engine: V-8 Displacement: 427 Cubic Inches Horsepower: 485 HP @ 6500 RPM Torque: 510 LBS-FT @ 3700 RPM Bore & Stroke: 4.24 x 3.78 Inches Compression Ratio: 11.5:1 Wheelbase: 90 Inches Length: 156 Inches Weight: 2,150 Lbs.
