DeAgostini Dinky Toys 559 Ford Taunus

The Ford Taunus is an iconic model produced by Ford Germany in the 1960s and 1970s. Introduced in 1964, the Taunus was one of the most popular cars in Germany and a symbol of the growth in car ownership in the post-war period. The Ford Taunus was designed to appeal to a wide audience, with a combination of functionality, style and affordability. The model was available in a variety of models, including sedans, coupes and estates, making it a versatile choice for both families and business drivers.

The Taunus was known for its modern design and innovative technology. It was one of the first cars to use the so-called "monocoque" construction, which resulted in a lighter and stiffer body. This not only improved performance and fuel efficiency, but also provided improved safety and comfort for the occupants. With its powerful engines and smooth ride, the Ford Taunus quickly became a popular car in European car ownership.
