HO Bus Ford FK 1000 Panoramabus

Description

Model: HO gauge. The original always attracts admiration at classic car meetings. The sapphire blue, organically shaped flank design in particular gives the Ford FK 1000 an unusual look, especially since the two-tone design mostly features simple belly bands on the elegant panorama bus from former Cologne production. The Ford Transit panorama bus was intended to be a competitive response to the VW T1 in the Sambabus version. If you look closely at the Wiking model, you will see the model name „Taunus Transit“ on the panorama bus. Incidentally, this is a very plausible name, since the van had benefited from the 55 hp engine from the Taunus 15M since 1958. Up until the end of the first Transit generation in 1965, minibus buyers looking for comfort could order the panorama version and were not disappointed with the visually appealing exterior.
