This auction is for the attractive and sought-after vintage 1960 Wiking
Germany) Volkswagen Vw Beetle Cabriolet 1/40 Scale Dealer Promotional model in beautiful unused mint and boxed original condition. Volkswagen commissioned the well respected Wiking toy company to manufacture a special line of highly detailed plastic Vw models in a four inch, 1/40 scale that were offered and sold only through official Volkswagen dealerships around the world. The beautiful models faithfully represented the full size autos, and were updated every year up to the mid-1960's. This one represents a gorgeous like-new example of the 1960 cabriolet in black.  Absolutely beautiful and complete! This 60 year old model was found in a variety of colors, and this shiny black model is stunning. Features include removable body to reveal a detailed chassis, engine, and interior. All original and complete with grey ribbed seats, red interior side-body panels, steering wheel with delicate horn ring, rear storage bin, front gas tank and shield, grey chassis with silver painted intact bumpers, black tires on silver "Vw" hub capped wheels, and includes a spare wheel. The body is trimmed with silver and red painted tail lights.  A real gem! Note the windshield frame has the common casting separation at the middle of the span. It is not a break, and is common to all of the Wiking cabrio models as the injection molding would frequently not blend at the thin meeting point. The original box is a fitting partner, in like-new condition, comes with the original "Vw" packing tissue, is well-shaped, brightly colored, complete with all flaps, correct color indicator on one flap. The detailed and magnified photos are part of the description illustrating box condition. Please contact me with any questions. Please visit my other auctions to view the other available models.
