About the Ford Taunus 17M P2 Light Blue & White BoS Models 1:18

TL;DR: BoS Models' 1:18 diecast Ford Taunus 17M P2 in Light Blue & White reproduces Ford of Germany's late-1950s sedan, sold from 1957 as a successor to the original Taunus 17M. A specialist diecast covering a genuinely under-represented piece of postwar European Ford history.

Ford's German operation built its own design identity in the 1950s, distinct from Dearborn, and the Taunus 17M P2 is where that identity shows clearly.

Ford of Germany's Own Design Language

The Taunus 17M P2, produced from 1957, replaced the earlier P1-generation Taunus with rounder, more sculpted bodywork that followed a broader European styling trend of the period toward curved, flowing panels rather than the flatter surfaces of the previous decade. It represented Ford's German subsidiary developing cars tailored specifically to European tastes and roads rather than simply exporting American designs, a distinction that would shape Ford of Europe's identity for decades afterward. The light blue and white two-tone finish was a common and flattering combination for the period, letting the sedan's rounded fenders and greenhouse read with genuine period charm.

A Specialist Subject From a Specialist Manufacturer

BoS Models has built its reputation around exactly this kind of overlooked, historically interesting subject, cars that mainstream diecast lines rarely touch. The Taunus 17M's rounded 1950s styling gets the careful surfacing treatment a niche vintage subject needs to read correctly rather than generically. For a postwar European sedan shelf, or a Ford-specific collection reaching beyond the more commonly modeled Capri and Escort, this Taunus offers real depth few other manufacturers bother providing.
