The history of Schuco
" 1912: Salesman Heinrich Schreyer and toolmaker Heinrich Müller establish the toy company "Schreyer und Co." in Nuremberg. The aim is to develop figurative tin toys.
1913: Walking "tip-tap dogs" cause a small sensation in the toy market.
1914: Launch of the freely marching "Automato", which, 50 years later, became the prototype for initial toy robots.
1920: Müller continues to come up with trendsetting mechanical designs, applies for numerous patents – such as for "Acrobato", a tin artist who does somersaults.
1936: Launch of the first miniature cars, the legendary "Wende-Auto" (Tumble Car) and the Mercedes "Silver Arrow", known as Schuco Studio models.
Mid-1950s: Die-cast metal and plastic conquer the toy market.
1976: The company files for bankruptcy. This is followed by several changes of ownership.
From 1993: Refocusing of the brand with many new developments.
1999: The SIMBA DICKIE GROUP takes over Schuco.

Volkswagen K70
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Volkswagen K70 is a four-door, front engine, front wheel drive sedan developed by NSU and marketed from 1970–1975 by Volkswagen — after its 1969 acquisition of NSU.
Designed by NSU's chief engineer Ewald Praxl and styled by Claus Luthe as a four-door sedan (and three-door wagon) to complement the NSU Ro80, the K70 would ultimately become the first Volkswagen with a front-mounted engine, water cooling and front wheel drive. Competing with VW's own 411/412 and Audi's 100, the K70 was ultimately marketed only as a sedan — with 211,127 examples manufactured for model years 1970-1975.
The K70 retained NSU's naming convention — with K denoting the German word Kolben (piston) and 70 designating an engine output of 70 PS (51 kW; 69 hp)."
(...)
"The K70 was originally developed to complement the Ro 80, distinguished by its conventional piston engine rather than the Ro80's Wankel rotary engine. NSU scheduled the press launch for March 1969, intending to present it to the wider public at the 1969 Geneva Motor Show."
