Goggomobil

Goggomobil was the microcar brand produced by Hans Glas GmbH of Dingolfing, Germany, introduced in 1955 and produced through the 1960s. The brand name "Goggo" came from company founder Andreas Glas's nickname for his vehicles and was applied to a family of small two- and four-wheeled vehicles (scooters and microcars) known for compact dimensions and distinctive rounded styling. There is limited formal documentation about a distinct, enduring corporate logo for Goggomobil separate from Glas; branding in the period typically used the Glas company name and simple wordmarks or badges on vehicle grilles and hubcaps. Goggomobil's historical significance lies in its role in postwar German motoring and in later corporate absorption when Hans Glas GmbH was acquired by BMW in 1966.
