Wiking 012102 Gauge H0 DKW Junior de Luxe, pastel blue

DKW Junior de Luxe – pastel blue with white roof
1959-63

It was small and maneuverable, a mini limousine so to speak. The DKW Junior proved to be a counterpoint to the VW Beetle, which was once dominant in everyday life. What's more: the Junior in the de Luxe version was a successful combination of limousine and sportiness. No wonder that WIKING also miniaturized the introduction to comfortable transportation right at the beginning of the 1960s. The traditional model makers are now creating the Junior de Luxe from revitalized forms. A few extras in particular were a topic of conversation at the presentation at the IAA in 1961, as Auto Union had given the Junior de Luxe accentuated headlights and also more chrome trim.

WIKING has brought the small car classic to life with a lot of printing convenience for the 1:87 scale. Of course from historical WIKING molds that have been revitalized specifically for this purpose.
