The Goggomobil was a microcar produced in the Bavarian town Dingolfing after World War II by Hans Glas.
There was a conventional looking four passenger two-door sedan and a very sleek sports coupé. The engine was an air cooled, two stroke, two cylinder unit originally of 250 cc and 15 hp (11 kW) but increased to 395 cc and 20 hp (15 kW). It had an electric pre-selective transmission built by Getrag and a manual clutch. The engine was behind the rear wheels. Suspension was independent all round using coil springs with swing axles.
219,531 sedans and 66,511 coupés were built from 1955 to 1969. Between 1957 and 1961 some 700 sports cars called Goggomobil Darts were produced by Buckle Motors Pty Ltd in Sydney, Australia.
Glas also produced the highly rated Goggomobil motor scooter.
The Glas Auto works at Dingolfing were subsequently taken over by BMW.
