Wiking 004606 – VW 411

Original manufacturer’s year of manufacture: 1968-72

The rear-wheel drive car’s massive trunk gave it its nickname. Car enthusiasts in Germany have always known the unusual in car construction. For example, the rear-wheel drive VW 411 was nicknamed the “Coat Bear” (Schnüre) because of its long, forward-projecting trunk. All tongue-in-cheek, of course, because the hatchback was intended for those who had worked their way up from Beetle ownership. It brought a significant amount of vehicle volume to the road by Wolfsburg standards.

Moss green body, pebble gray interior. Silver chassis and rims. Headlights hand-silvered, orange turn signals. Red printed taillights. Silver printed VW logo and trim stripes on the front. Silver side trim strips and door handles.
