Schuco GLAS 2600 V8 white 1:43

"A very elegant touring coupé designed by Frua and equipped with a V8 engine developed by Glas himself. This beautiful sports coupé, also known as the "Glaserati", unfortunately did not develop into a commercial success and so Glas was sold to BMW AG in 1966. There, after some slight revisions to the design and technology, the coupe continued to be produced for some time as the BMW Glas 3000 V8.Founded in Pilsting in 1883 as the Glas agricultural machinery factory, Hans Glas GmbH in Dingolfing entered the lucrative two-wheeler business in the early 1950s with the production of the Goggo scooter. Then, in 1955, the Goggomobil, a small car priced at DM 3000.00 with room for a family of four, was introduced with great success. In the course of the following years, Glas developed more and more into a serious automobile manufacturer. Thus, the Glas 2600 V8 was presented at the IAA 1965.".
