Goggomobil T400 - 1959

Goggomobil was a series of microcars produced in the

Bavarian town Dingolfing after World War II by Glas.

Glas produced three models on the Goggomobil platform: the Goggomobil T sedan, the  Goggomobil TS coupé, and the Goggomobil TL van. The engine was an air-cooled, two-stroke,  two-cylinder unit originally displacing 250 cc, but later available in increased sizes of 300 cc  and 400 cc. 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.  214,313 sedans, 66,511 coupés, and 3,667 Transporter vans and pickups were built from 1955  to 1969. 

T Sedan

The Goggomobil T250 was introduced by Glas at the 1954 IFMA international bicycle and  motorcycle show. The T250 was a conventional-looking two door sedan with a rear-mounted  245 cc air-cooled two-stroke straight twin engine. Design changes were made to the T250 in 1957. Two windshield wipers were used instead of  the earlier system with one wiper, and the sliding windows in the doors were changed to  wind-up windows. Also at this time the T300 and T400 became available; these had larger  engines of 300 cc and 400 cc respectively. The last design change for the T sedan came in 1964, when the rear-hinged suicide doors  were replaced by conventional front-hinged doors. 214,313 sedans were built when production ended on 30 June 1969.
