1953 Ikarus 55-53 Autobus Blue in 1:43 scale
This is the 1953 Ikarus 55-53 Autobus Blue in 1:43 scale by Premium Classixx.
The 1953 Ikarus 55-53 Autobus stood out in the postwar European transportation scene for its sleek, streamlined body and advanced unibody construction—a rarity for buses at the time. Produced in Hungary, the Ikarus 55 became iconic for its aerodynamic, rounded “cigar” shape, panoramic windows, and rear-mounted engine, which offered both a quieter ride and more spacious cabin. Built for long-distance travel, it combined functionality with mid-century modern design flair, setting it apart from its more utilitarian, boxy competitors in the bus industry of the 1950s.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
