The Cony Giant 360 AF3 was introduced in December, 1959, a 2-door wagon was added in May, 1960, and it was also available as a panel van. It rode on a wheelbase of 195.5 cm with coil springs in front and a rigid rear axle with leaf springs and had a separate chassis. The length was 298.5 cm, the width 128.5 cm. The engine, originally a 4-cycle 359 cc air-cooled 2-cylinder boxer, 354 cc by April, 1961 was placed midship under the floor, driving the rear wheels. There was also the Giant 600 AF5 wagon and pick-up with a length of 334.5 cm and a wheelbase of 207.2 cm, with the engine enlarged to 600 cc.

In November, 1961 the Cony 360 Coach was released, a 2-door sedan with rear engine (same data as AF3), on a wheelbase of 192 cm, rubber springs at the front and an independent coil suspension at the rear. A wagon, called Cony Coach V, came in February, 1962 and eventually replaced the sedan. This vehicle was renamed Cony Special by April, 1963 and was deleted in 1965.
