Large circular garage "VW"

Large circular garage "VW".

It certainly was one of a kind: When it was unveiled at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 1963, the circular garage attracted the attention of the dealers in more than one way. No one had ever seen anything like this before or after! The traditional model makers are now reviving the historical moulds to present the model as a “VW garage”. The circular garage of the 1960s was entirely different – in form and function. In the eyes of the WIKING model makers it offered a two-fold user value: While fitting seamlessly into the great world of small WIKING miniatures, this hand-filling accessory could be converted into a “pocket box”, an aspect that thrilled the young community of collectors. It allowed them to transport their WIKING models while including the play scenario at the same time.
