History

Viking V-8

The Viking V-8 was General Motors' attempt to fill a price gap in their extensive brand portfolio. It featured a distinctive V8 engine with a narrow vee angle and attractive styling. Despite good engineering and competitive pricing, the Viking arrived just as the Depression hit, and GM discontinued the marque after only two model years, making it one of the rarest GM products.
