Wiking 33507 HO Tempo Matador low platform - concrete grey/fawn brown

The need for furniture and large appliances was enormous immediately after the 1948 currency reform - the Tempo Matador provided relief the following year. Especially with the low platform, it was easy for craftsmen, dealers and shipping companies to ensure door-to-door transport. WIKING presents the Tempo Matador in a contemporary, two-tone design. The Tempo Matador in particular has a beautiful, typical WIKING story: When the model makers produced the advertising model for Tempo Vidal in 1:50 around 70 years ago, WIKING served the manufacturer's needs with an illustrative model for the mobilizing customers. The simple transporter never achieved the cult appreciation of a VW T1 as a model, but WIKING is creating a model-making monument to the long-historic fast truck for this very reason: the Tempo Matador with the single cab appears as a “quiet hero” of the economic miracle. Even with the low platform, the Tempo Matador was highly valued because it was ideal for typical transport tasks. The Matador is still considered a transporter legend today, because in the post-war years thousands of companies were on their way to economic recovery at the same pace.
