Ford Taunus G73A Blue Grey 1949-50

Details:

Bring a true piece of post-war automotive history to your model railway or diorama with the WIKING Ford Taunus G73A in its authentic blue-grey finish. This finely detailed 1:87 (H0 scale) model represents the iconic “Buckeltaunus”, one of the first mass-produced passenger cars in post-war Germany and a symbol of early economic recovery and everyday mobility.

Faithfully recreated using WIKING’s original tooling, the model captures the distinctive rounded silhouette of the Ford Taunus G73A, including its characteristic “humpback” bonnet, upright stance, and simple yet functional body design. The blue-grey colour scheme reflects a period-correct factory tone, making it ideal for authentic mid-century road scenes.

Fine detailing includes accurately applied chrome accents on the grille, window surrounds, and trim elements, along with realistic door handles, period-style wheels, and clear glazing. Subtle printed details such as badges and lighting elements enhance the model’s realism despite its compact scale.

Perfect for late 1940s to 1950s model railway layouts, this classic Ford adds instant historical atmosphere to town streets, railway station forecourts, workshops, and rural roads. It is especially effective in early post-war scenes where simple, utilitarian vehicles help define the era.
