Because the history of WIKING is so unique, there is now a new impressive book entitled “WIKING – Small cars, big passion“. A wealth of stories, impressive eyewitness accounts and previously unseen documents spanning seven decades describe the history of WIKING models in full detail over 192 pages. The book tells how it really happened – no rumours, no widespread speculations, just first-hand information. So this comprehensive documentation on the brand links seamlessly with the successful publication entitled “WIKING: A legend in model-making” which, after it was first published in 2007, was reprinted twice within a short space of time and has since gone out of print.Premiere for unfinished model-making projectsThe new standard work contains 192 pages and over 600 photographs, including for the first time unfinished WIKING model projects. It also looks at the wooden samples which were once used as models when making moulds. The book also describes in previously untold detail the passionate story of founder Friedrich Peltzer and how, in the 1950s, he produced teaching aids for use in road safety education in order to try to develop this field of business. We hear from collectors who describe their own personal experiences with WIKING cars as well as from the creators of the models. “WIKING – Small cars, big passion“ will be a source of pure pleasure for readers.
