Alongside the 2-door saloon, an estate car body was also produced, known in this export guise as the Goggomobil Esquire. The brochure called it 'the ideal vehicle for business and weekend trips'.
The brochure contained charming hand-drawn illustrations of the car, which claimed to set new standard in the small saloon class. As the 1960s went on the Glas company moved upmarket by launching new, significantly larger designs, only to be taken over by its Bavarian rival, BMW.
Now largely forgotten, West German carmarker Glas used Goggomobil as a brand name for its smaller models such as this four-stroke 688cc saloon, known in Germany as the Isar. For English-speaking markets it was the Goggomobil Royal. The design was made from 1959-65. #weirdcarbs
