M2 Machines Chevy 60 Years of Turbo-Fire V8

Chevrolet introduced its innovative Turbo-Fire V8 engine in 1955. 60 years later, the small-block Chevy V-8 has found its way into just about every kind of vehicle – from race cars to off-road trucks to boats – and has become one of the most common and longest-produced domestic engines.

This fun, Walmart exclusive series from M2 Machines celebrates this amazing engine with 6 different models, including a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 265, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, a 1958 Chevrolet Apache Cameo, a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 327, a 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS 283 and a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS. As much as I like them all, I limited my purchase to the 1967 Nova SS 283.

A companion series of Auto-Haulers – also Walmart exclusive – includes variations of the 1958 Chevrolet LCF hauling a 1966 Corvette, 1969 Camaro Z/28 and this 1958 Chevrolet Impala.

I also have in my collection a similar Auto-Hauler combo from the previous 100 Years of Chevrolet series.

The Auto-Haulers series from M2 Machines is one of my favorite series. Though I’ve only added two of them to my collection, I always enjoy looking at them when I see them in the stores. I found this 1958 Impala stretch limousine/1958 Chevy LCF at a Toys R Us the other day. It’s an interesting combination, with the audaciously flamed-out gold and black limo sitting atop a fairly understated black LCF flatbed – although the wide whitewalls that they both wear tie them together nicely.

The other Auto-Haulers model that I have is part of the Chevrolet 100th anniversary series from 2011. As sharp as this pair is in pearl white and silver, there is also a chase car version that’s trimmed in gold.
