Man-high saloon with the flair of the post-war years
More chrome on a classic, which even WIKING founder Fritz Peltzer appreciated, cannot be used. The rich, dark-green body possesses the understatement of the early fifties. Added to this is the typical chrome exterior, WAS the Rüsselsheimer, which makes the scale 1:87 so noble. Most WIKING friends will still remember the year 1977, when the Opel captain '51 brought something like signal effect into the program. The traditional model builders had presented the Opel Limousine as a "veteran" novelty and thus created a passenger car which characterizes the era two years after the start of the famous classic offensive. WIKING founder Fritz Peltzer deliberately chose the 1951 shape of the Opel captain. The model seemed sublime, the chromium decorative council had been added up. Particularly striking: The rear wheels now appeared partly covered and the 58 hp model from Rüsselsheimer finally had an undivided rear window. From March 1951 to July 1953 a total of 48,587 vehicles were built from the man's high original.
Body dark green with clear lacquer finish, chassis and rods made of aluminum silver. Interior lighting light gray.
