The Taunus 12M was Ford Germany’s first new car after WWII. Launched in 1952, it was equipped with a 38 hp 1.2-litre (which explains its name). Norev reproduced the 1952 12M, and Minichamps the 1957 model year with a modernized grille. Since June 2014, NEO has added the 1959 12M to its catalogue, with another new grille and chromes on the sides. A totally new 12M was launched in 1962.
