It’s not easy to find a Glass GT for sale which is still in restorable conditions and, when you find one, it probably has been painted in “resale red” just like this one. Whatching the inner door panels and the engine bay it’s clear that this car was born in a beautiful metallic pale blue… Read More Resale red: 1966 Glas 1700 GT
This big coupé was the swan song of Glas, even though ths particular model was built when Glas was already been overtaken by BMW, indeed this has a 3,000 c.c. engine instead of the Glas 2,600 c.c. unit. This car indeed wears the BMW badge on the nose but unfortunately there are much more things… Read More Almost complete: 1967 BMW-Glas V8 3000
One of the cutest models built by BMW was actually a son of Glas, a factory acquired by BMW in 1967. After that, Glas cars were badged as BMW. The design though was made by Frua as, back then, german cars producers were not the best in styling ars so very often they asked italian… Read More Expensive red: 1967 BMW 1600 GT
The Glas 1700 GT is a rare car as these were produced for no longer than a couple of years, of course seeing one with a rotary engine instead of its inline-four cylinder engine is even rarer. So here we have a car which needs, apart from a total restoration, an original unit or, at… Read More Unexpected rotary: 1965 Glas 1700 GT
The Glas 1700 GT was probably the first road car equipped with a belt driven SOH camshaft; actually it was a little but sophisticated car which was sold for a couple of year before adopting the BMW badge. Few were made a few remain today especially in the U.S. also because it’s not easy at… Read More Belt driven/2: 1967 Glas 1700 GT
The Glas 1700 GT engine had a special feature: it was the first unit, installed on a “mass-produced” car, which camshaft was driven by a belt instead of a common timing chain. Not bad for a car built in 1967 when even things like the mechanical fuel injection was adopted only by few race cars… Read More Belt driven: 1967 Glas 1700 GT by Frua
This Glas 1700 GT is one of the few built in 1967 before BMW took over: since that moment these cars were produced with the BMW badge. So, few of these cars are still around; we have published a couple during the past years and it’s always nice to spot another one for sale: first… Read More Not really a roller: 1967 Glas 1700 GT
Back in the sixties german car producers often asked to italian designers and coachbuilders to shape their cars: they were actually right as many of these cars came out well like this Glas GT. Designed by Frua and powered by Glas with a four cylinders engine fed by two carburetors, this car was an elegant… Read More The italian job: 1967 Glas GT 1300 by Frua
It’s rare to spot a Glas GT in the U.S.A. as few were delivered into the country: you can imagine how many may have survived so far. This is one of those. Tjis “typical” barn find is one of the last Glas produced: we believed that since late ’66 they were badged as BMW but this… Read More Hope green: 1967 Glas 1700 GT
It’s not so hard to understand why this rare car was called “Glaserati”: the designer of this car – Pietro frua who was also a known coachbuilder – was probably a bit lazy so the car looks something in the middle of his previous creation, the Quattroporte (front), and another Maserati by Vignale, the Sebring… Read More The Glaserati: 1967 Glas 2600 V8
