Borgward Isabella - Der Zeit voraus

The volume spans the history of the classic Borgward brand up to its revival. Christian Steiger spoke to contemporary witnesses and exchanged views with members of the Borgward family, designers, test drivers, assembly workers and former sales staff. They shared their memories and provided insight into drawers and cellars in which extensive documents were still kept.

The findings have been incorporated into this book, which tells the story of the cult brand around the iconic Isabella in a new way and based on the latest knowledge.

Borgward Isabella: Vom Zeichenbrett zum Roll-out

There are many books about vintage cars, but almost none about the development and production of the vehicles. The subject is of great interest to fans.
This book uses the example of the Borgward Isabella to show how cars were designed and produced. It could only be published because three things came together:
- By purchasing the archives of the Borgward factory photographers, images were available that show the production process in detail.
- For over 30 years, the author has been conducting interviews with former Borgward employees. These included senior production technicians and designers of the Isabella.
- With the technical support of today's automotive engineers, the development and production processes of the 1950s were reconstructed.

In this way, it was possible to present the individual steps in the correct order: conception, design, prototype construction, test phase, production planning and series production.
The Isabella rolled off the production line in July 1954. Production of this successful classic was discontinued in 1962. Borgward's masterpiece is still highly valued today.
