Photo Gallery «Carosserie Gläser - the convertible builder from Dresden»
Almost 120 years ago, the Dresden-based company Heinrich Gläser built its first automobile, Wilhelm Maybach's pioneering Mercedes. It was no coincidence that the company was at the forefront of the still young automobile industry; after all, the company founded in 1894 had supplied the ruling dynasty with carriages and sleighs as the "Royal Saxon Court Carriage Builder". Throughout its existence, the noble Gläser company had to struggle with the adversities of the early twentieth century, surviving the early death of the company founder as well as both world wars and even putting hoods on the Porsche 356... This article tells the story of one of the most important German manufacturers of sporty and elegant coachwork and shows some of the cars in pictures.
