About the Ford Taunus 17M P2 Blue Revell 1:18

TL;DR: This Revell 1:18 diecast reproduces the Ford Taunus 17M P2 in blue, the late-1950s German Ford saloon nicknamed the Barockengel, or Baroque Angel, for its heavily rounded, ornate bodywork. It suits a vintage German saloon shelf with genuine period character.

Ford's German division built saloons that looked nothing like their American cousins, and the 17M P2's curves earned it a nickname that still describes it perfectly decades later.

The Baroque Angel of German Fords

Introduced in 1957 by Ford Germany, the 17M P2 wore rounded fenders, a heavily sculpted grille, and flowing rear haunches that earned it the popular nickname Barockengel among period buyers, a fitting label for a saloon that prioritised ornate styling over restraint. The blue finish on this diecast lets the P2's swooping fender lines and chrome trim stand out clearly, since a lighter colour highlights surfacing that a darker shade would flatten. Revell's build handles the rounded 1950s body with consistent panel gaps and crisp chrome detailing, giving the model genuine period charm without the cost of a hand-built resin alternative.

A Genuine German Design Curiosity

This Taunus works well on a shelf built around 1950s German saloons, where its exuberant styling contrasts sharply with the more restrained lines Mercedes and BMW favoured in the same period. For collectors interested in Ford's often-overlooked European history, the 17M P2 is a genuinely rewarding find.
