Model Details

They stand in display cases, stacked in dusty cigar boxes, or decorate authentic model railway landscapes – WIKING cars have become a model myth to this day! Once you've taken them into your heart, their aura stays with you for a lifetime. "My WIKING Cars" tells the true stories of how these legendary models were created, collected, and presented. This prestigiously bound book with dust jacket is an indispensable standard work for all collectors. Over 450 color and black-and-white photos are presented on 168 pages – a true picture oasis for all those who love car models and who have grown particularly fond of WIKING. In impressive photo series, WIKING's miniaturized living worlds begin to unfold their fascinating power, and contemporary traffic situations seem as tangible as in reality. Numerous previously unpublished photographs from the private archives of WIKING employees show what life was like in the model workshops at "Unter den Eichen 101" or at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in the 1960s. Nowhere else can such an impressive variety of precious model rarities be seen – this work opens up a new perspective on WIKING for the viewer. With many unknown backgrounds about people and models, as well as photographic rarities seen for the first time, this book conveys new, passionate facets of this unique model brand. "My WIKING Cars" is a book that immerses readers in the chronology of the miniaturized automotive history of post-war Germany. 450 photos with numerous reportages make this in-depth model book on 168 pages a worthwhile brand story.
