Details:

The Ford Taunus 17M is regarded as one of the most influential mid-size vehicles of post-war Germany, embodying the optimism, economic recovery, and rising prosperity of the young Federal Republic. As part of Ford’s celebrated Taunus range, the 17M combined modern styling, dependable engineering, and strong value for money, making it a popular choice for a rapidly modernising society.

Although Ford never produced a factory convertible version of the 17M, specialist coachbuilders such as Deutsch and other small-scale firms created rare, bespoke open-top conversions. These custom vehicles were not mass-produced models, but exclusive one-off or limited builds tailored for customers seeking individuality and leisure-focused driving. Blending proven Ford reliability with the enjoyment of open-air motoring, they became aspirational vehicles rather than everyday transport.

The comfort-oriented chassis also made these convertibles well suited for longer journeys, reinforcing their role as stylish leisure and prestige automobiles of their era.

This WIKING 1:87 model faithfully reproduces the distinctive character of these rare conversions, preserving their craftsmanship and historical significance in miniature form.
