Borgward Flatbed Truck Rose Red 1957-61

Borgward Flatbed Truck Rose Red 1957–61

The Borgward Flatbed Truck in rose red is a striking homage to one of Germany’s most distinctive small commercial vehicles of the 1950s. Produced between 1957 and 1961, this cab-over-engine transporter by Bremen-based Borgward stood out for its robust utility, elegant styling, and widespread service network across West Germany. The model pays tribute to Borgward’s role as a key manufacturer of compact trucks before the brand’s decline in the early 1960s.

This detailed 1:87 scale model by WIKING captures the authenticity and charm of the original, complete with the iconic Borgward diamond centred on the front grille. Its vivid rose red body and period-accurate detailing make it a must-have for collectors of classic German utility vehicles.
