Description: Hodaka introduced the Wombat in 1972, then later introduced the racing model, the Combat Wombat, in 1973. The Hodaka Combat Wombat became a tough competitor in it's day, giving the increasing number of Japanese bikes a run for their money in the 125cc class. Powered by a 125cc two-stroke engine that wound up to 8,400 rpm, the Combat Wombat also featured a five-speed transmission and a left side shifter. This nimble little motocrosser weighed around 192 pounds with a wheelbase of 53 inches. At this time in the motocross bike market, things were developing quickly and all of the manufacturers were releasing “new and improved” bikes each year, so Hodaka had to stay on that same path and released the Super Combat in '74.
Description: The Willys MB and the Ford GPW are four-wheel drive utility vehicles that were manufactured during World War II. Produced from 1941 to 1945, it evolved post-war into the civilian Jeep CJ-2A, and inspired both an entire category of recreational 4WDs and several generations of military light utility vehicles. This design features a highly detailed cutaway schematic laid over an olive drab military star with a nice vintage treatment to give it an authentic aged look.
Description: The world's first production amphibious all-terrain vehicle (AATV) is generally considered to be the Jiger, developed by John Gower of Toronto and first marketed in 1960. While Jiger went bankrupt in 1968, Hugh Thompson of Orillia, Ontairio, had been working on his own design for an AATV. Orillia's OTACO Corp. was impressed with Hugh's design and bought the rights to produce it, calling it the 'Bazooo.' Powered by a Curtis Wright 225 cc 12.5 horsepower air-cooled engine driving all six wheels, the Bazooo was capable of traversing all kinds of terrain and was fully amphibious, making it a true all-terrain vehicle.
Description: The '91 Explorer was launched with great fanfare as the blue oval's first entry into the then-new sport utility vehicle market, and while the four-door model has long proved itself most popular, the two-door version has always had a steady following. Available with either a rear-wheel or four-wheel drivetrain, the Explorer Sport’s sole power plant was a 4.0-liter single overhead cam V-6 engine. Producing 203 horsepower and 237 pound-feet of torque, the Explorer Sport provided buyers a choice between a five-speed manual transmission and a five-speed automatic. The rear leaf spring rear suspension on the Sport proved popular with off-road minded drivers, and was a feature that was retained on Sports even after four door models had moved on.

Description: J.C. Whitney & Co. began in 1915 as The Warshawsky Company, a scrap metal yard on the South Side of Chicago, founded by Lithuanian immigrant Israel Warshawsky. Israel’s son Roy come onboard, and his first contribution was to create a catalog, advertising it in national magazines. For 25-cents, customers would receive their catalog, chock-full of parts to help them work on and customize their cars. Response to the ad was overwhelming, and the company soon began shipping more parts through the mail than over their Chicago sales counter. The name changed to J.C. Whitney & Co. to give it a more American sound. Post WWII was an incredibly profitable time for J.C. Whitney as returning G.I.s got the hot rod bug, and needed parts in droves.
Description: The plan was simple – take Yamaguchi’s lightweight trail bike, the Scrambler, and make it better. PABATCO designed and engineered the motorcycles from their Athena, Oregon headquarters, and Hodaka was responsible for the engines, manufacturing, and assembly in Japan. This resulted in Hodaka’s first model, the Ace 90, which arrived in the U.S. in 1964 and became an instant success thanks to its low cost and durability and depending on who you ask, laid the groundwork for America’s trail bike craze. Hodaka continued to improve upon their original design releasing about 18 variant models until a combination of events led to the demise of Hodaka in 1978.
Description: The original Ford 'highboys' ('67-'77.5 F-250 4X4 models) were true works of art - a factory lifted pickup truck that sat 'right.' These early 4X4s were conversions of 2WD chassis as it was easier to utilize the original 2WD trans than to design an adapter to marry them. This meant that the transfer case was connected with a short driveshaft (aka a divorced transfer case) rather than being married to the back of the trans like they are today. Having the transfer case further back required a longer front driveshaft, which required the truck to sit higher for proper clearance. The end result was a truck that sat a good 4" higher than a 2WD F-250 and looked as tough as it was, quickly making them a hit with consumers for work and play alike.
