TL;DR: Borgward diecast and resin models in this collection cover 1950s German vintage classics and concept cars, built in 1:18 and 1:43 scale by Revell, Minichamps, and BoS Models. The range documents a manufacturer whose innovative engineering ended abruptly with the company's early-1960s collapse.
Borgward built some genuinely forward-thinking engineering into its 1950s lineup, including early air suspension work, before the company folded suddenly at the start of the following decade.
Borgward's 1950s Engineering Before Its Collapse
The vintage classics carry the rounded, slightly conservative styling typical of 1950s German sedans, but the engineering underneath, including the Isabella's early air suspension setup, pushed further than the bodywork suggested.
- Rounded body proportions and grille detail typical of 1950s Borgward styling.
- Interior and dashboard detail reflecting the brand's engineering ambitions.
- Badge accuracy, since Borgward's identity faded quickly after the company's collapse.
Concepts and Vintage Classics Across Two Scales
The concept subjects, handled largely in resin by BoS Models, cover ideas that never reached full production, a smaller-volume niche that suits sealed-body construction better than mass-market diecast.
