The engineer Carl Friedrich W. Borgward, who was born in 1890, became independent in 1921 with the takeover of the Bremen cooler factory. Three years later, he built his first car, a small three-wheeled truck. In 1931 he took over the Hansa Lloyd plants, where trucks and tank vehicles were built during the Second World War. Shortly after the end of the war, in 1949, Borgward presented the Hansa 1500, the first German car with a pontoon body. With the Borgward model "Isabella", published in 1954, designed by the company's founder himself, the Bremer Borgward plants consistently continued the proven pontoon line. The best body variant is the Isabella Coupé, which was available from 1957, and was not a variant, but a new development and thus a new car. From mid-1958, two visible details were changed compared to the first edition: The Borgward-Rombus in the cooler became smaller and the Borgward-lettering on the front wings "slipped" to the front. The Isabella Coupé became the crowning of the Borgward image, the auto myth and the only truly successful attempt to break into the upper class. One new feature was that Borgward fulfilled all the extra wishes, including those not on the price list. Some of the bizarre but official extras included the rear fins or the electric sliding steel roof. With a basic price of DM 10,925 at the beginning and then DM 11,725, the target group was better-off men and women. A proud prize for a rolling luxury estate with only two full seats, the critics claimed. However, the popularity did not stop this. With almost 10,000 copies produced, the Isabella Coupé is still a sought-after collector's item, which is considerably more rare than a Mercedes 190 SL, which existed 26,000 times. For the beautiful cabriolet you had to pay 15,600 DM at first and then even 17,000 DM later – it was probably one of the most successful creations by Carl F. W. Borgward. This cabriolet was one of the few German cars that reflect the zeitgeist and aspirations of the 1950s.The model in the scale of 1:87 counts with 30 individual parts to the very intricately constructed but also to the preformed miniatures, like its prototype from the year 1958. The body alone consists of three parts: Lower part with wings and doors; upper part with hood and trunk and roof with B and C-pillar. The interior is divided into two parts, with a seating part and a separate dashboard. The steering wheel is a colored insert. The 16 characteristic chrome parts were all realized as set or inserted individual parts. These include the trim bars on the sides and on the bonnet, the front and rear indicators, the headlights and the two wipers. The radiator grille, bumpers and rims are also chrome-plated individual parts. The Borgward logo is printed very finely on the front fenders. In addition to the technical finesse, the model is really special, that the style and charm of the original have been perfectly implemented and thus every collector has been able to capture the atmosphere of the automobile construction from the 1960s. Just like the great role models, the miniatures are also available in the high-contrast two-color lacquers in addition to the original single color lacquer finish.This text is machine translated.
