Car articles about Glas Isar T 700 by year
The "big" Goggomobil was one of the big surprises at the IAA 1957 in Frankfurt. The still young car manufacturer Glas was launching its second coup and the experts applauded. However, it turned out that the new model was presented somewhat prematurely and was also put into series production a little too early - now with rear-wheel drive instead of front-wheel drive. This not only damaged its reputation, but also its market opportunities, which is why the Glas Isar T600/T700 was only built for a good six years. This vehicle report describes the history of this now very rare model and shows it in many historical illustrations and in the sales literature.
With the Goggomobil T 600 (and T 700), the Glas company presented a modern small car design at the IAA in 1957. Series production began just one year later and hobby tester Gebhardt was able to test one of the first vehicles produced. He was enthusiastic, even though he could not foresee the teething troubles that were to cost Hans Glas GmbH a lot of money. This report reproduces the original wording of the "hobby" test and shows the Goggomobil T 600/700 in many factory photos, advertising material and a sales brochure from the time.
In 1959, Glas presented the Goggomobil Isar S35 Coupé on its stand at the IAA. The magazine 'hobby' was given the opportunity to test a pre-production vehicle and was very positive about the small sports car with its good handling. Unfortunately, the Isar S35 never made it into series production, so this test report has a special historical value. This article reproduces the original wording of the test, supplemented by the illustrations from the time.
After years of research, the second of a total of three Glas "Ranch" cars has turned up in a barn. It is the same vehicle that was on display at the 35th Geneva Motor Show. This article takes you on a journey of discovery to Glas "Ranch" number 2, which was thought to be lost.
