Dope! I have a silver Siku Mercedes Benz wagon with white interior. The undercarriage is stamped, 'MERCEDES BENZ 300 TE' and below that '300 E'. '1063' and '1064'. 'MADE IN W-GERMANY'. I thought it was strange having 2 names and 2 model numbers. The "glassless" hatch opens. Nice detailed, weighted casting. Definitely a little bigger than your average Matchbox/ Hot Wheels.
These Siku cars I remember them from my early childhood. They, as you said, are from the 70s (and 80s I think) and I was a child in the 80s. They had many stamped details in the body and metal base including some specs on the base. They were actually pretty damn cool and highly detailed for a toy car. And the farming and construction equipment is second to none.- also highly detailed. They are/were 1000 times better than todays Siku standards. The quality is/was excellent compared to todays Siku. I’m sure mint and never opened boxed/blister package Siku’s are highly sought after and very expensive - even free mint cars ADAC stands for Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil Club. It’s the German equivalent to the American AAA - American Automobile Association. They like AAA provide roadside assistance when your car is broken down or in a crash
While the models were not as cool by modern standards I feel SIKU did a good job and that by today's standards It'll never fly under the radar. Plz reply.
You are right. I tried to keep the length down and its still 40 minutes long even leaving out some content. I suppose a better idea would have been to split it into a couple videos.

Excellent. That's a perfect explanation for it. I appreciate it!
I grew up with these Siku cars back then 🤩 greetings from Germany 😎👍
I wish I was buying diecast back then like I was now. These are way better quality than what we get today.
I love Siku 😀🇳🇴
Very cool!
Adac, is an autombile club. As for their purpose im unsure.

Most were better than modern standards with build and detail.
