BMW Museum Exhibit on Glas Scooters and Cars (Former Unit of BMW Group)
Glas: from the scooter to the car...
The BMW Museum had a special exhibit last month. They had many Glas scooters and cars from the 1950's and 1960's. Many people do not know that Glas was part of the BMW Group. The Glas factory was closed in 1969 and made over. In 1973 the former Glas factory now produced 5 series in Dingolfing. The rest as we say, is history. Enjoy my photos. Dackel

Great images Dak. I really dig that sidecar rig. Some of these are more mini than a Mini.

The US collectors are pushing the prices up and up on these small micro cars. Some of those Messerschmitt's are getting $30K!!

I might be wrong.. but the only 4 door BMW badged Glas' 4 doors were the 1800SA and 2000SA, the 4 door above is the original Glas version that was only 1.7, as opposed to the BMW powered 1.8 or 2.0. I might be wrong, GLAS is one part of BMW's history that I've struggled to research. |
