SCHUCO offers a wide range of high-quality and highly detailed zinc die-cast models in the popular 1:18 scale. EDITION 1:18 presents historic production vehicles and racing cars, as well as tractors and utility vehicles with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail. Based on original vehicles from leading manufacturers, such as Porsche and Volkswagen, to name just two examples, SCHUCO is able to produce exceptional and very interesting new models time and time again. Founded in 1893 in the German town of Ulm by master wainwright Karl Kässbohrer, the company initially concentrated on the production of landaus, sleds, coaches and other vehicles. In 1952, Kässbohrer launched the first German series-production coach of the post-war period, the Setra S 8. The name „Setra“ (short for „selbsttragende“) refers to the „self-supporting“ chassis and the number 8 stands for the number of rows of seats. In 1954, the Setra S 6, which was only 6.7 metres in length, appeared and rounded out the lower end of the series with a compact „club coach“ model. Thanks to its independent rubber suspension on all wheels, the Setra S 6 offered carlike drive comfort. By the time production of the S 6 ceased in 1963, more than 1200 vehicles had been produced.
