Car articles about Glas 1300 by year
The Glas car company may no longer be active in the production of automobiles, but it is far from being forgotten. This is due to the complex history of the company, which began in the century before last. Glas automobiles were able to hold their own on the market for a long time and achieve success in a wide variety of areas. But nothing lasts forever...
Hans Glas GmbH presented a sensation at the 1963 IAA with the Glas 1300 GT. Breathtakingly beautiful and powered by modern engine technology, the Glas coupé had what it took to give the competition a run for its money. However, the coupé, which was soon followed by a convertible and more powerful versions, did not manage to save the Glas brand, despite its outstanding facilities. This report goes into the history of the beautiful coupé and shows it in many current and historical illustrations, as well as in original brochures. A sound sample is also included.
The Glas 1300 GT Coupé was the first real sports car from the Dingolfing-based manufacturer. And, as far as the test driver of the magazine 'hobby' could judge, it hit the mark. A sporty engine, a ravishingly beautiful bodywork by Pietro Frua and carefully designed technology predestined the sports car to be a proven everyday coupé. This report edits the original wording from 1964 and shows the pretty coupé in many pictures and in the original brochure from back then.
The Glas GT could have given the English sports cars a run for their money. However, it was almost too well and too luxuriously equipped for that and correspondingly expensive. In terms of handling and, above all, driving pleasure, however, it was in no way inferior to the British. The sedan was completely different: more powerful and more comfortable, it was more of a fast highway car than a cornering predator. This historical test report shows very well how different two cars with basically the same engine can be.
