Goggomobil Promotion
To promote the arrival of the new Goggomobil in the Netherlands importer Gremi organized a parade of new T-series models. Here they were lined-up in front of their Oude Ebbingestraat subsidiary. This action made national news.
In 'De geschiedenis van Gremi' this action is dated in 1958, but I doubt that. It has to be 1955 or 1956. Shown T-series models are pre-1957.
The Goggomobil microcar was presented in Autumn 1954 by Hans Glas GmbH, Dingolfing, Bayern. Chief engineer was Karl Dompert.
The Goggomobil T250/T300 series was expanded with the T400 in October 1957.
A second front wiper came late 1956 for model year 1957.
In September 1957 the models received crank windows instead of sliding windows.
From March 1964 onwards the door hinges of all models were replaced to the front side of the doors (conventional way).
In 1966 the Glas company was bought by BMW, but the production of these microcars remained till 1969.
247 or 296 cc cylinder 2-stroke air-cooled rear engine.
Performance: 13,6 or 14,8 bhp.
460 kg.
Production Goggomobil T250/300 series: March 1955-June 1969.
