BMWish: 1962 Glas S1004 Coupe
Hans Glas GmbH was originally founded in 1883 as an agricultural repair shop, but sometime in the 1950s, Glas started building its own small sports coupes in the town of Dingolfing in Bavaria. BMW absorbed the Glas product line and factory in 1962 and what was left of Glas started building the BMW 1500 version of the New Class sedan. A few years later, (1966) Glas was outright purchased by BMW to gain access to its patents and large manufacturing facility and today the Dingolfing factory builds BMW 5, 6 and 7 series automobiles. Today’s next feature is a small Glas coupe that is located somewhere south of the border, so make sure you have your importation experts ready. Find this 1962 Glas S1004 Coupe offered here on eBay for $14,500 in Montevideo, Uruguay. As seen on Germancarsforsaleblog.

What an ungainly looking vehicle that is. At least from the rear. Kinda like me, I'm sure.
