GLAS

GLAS was an agricultural machinery business established in 1883 in Dingolfing, Germany.
In 1951 they started making a motor scooter the Goggo and then in 1955 the produced a mini car called the Goggomobil. It was a two door saloon with a rear mounted 2-stroke 2-cylinder of 247cc, 296cc or 395cc.
In 1964 the company introduced the GLAS 1300GT coupe and later the 1700GT. The body was designed by Pietro Frua. However competition, mostly from British cars, was tough and in 1966 released the 2600GT powered by a SOHC V8 engine, with a volume just under 2.6 litres. However this didn't help and later the same year the company was sold to BMW.
