The Glas 1304 CL is part of the latest generation of passenger cars from Hans Glas GmbH, a German brand from Dingolfing known for its compact models and technical ingenuity in the 1950s and 1960s. Originally a manufacturer of agricultural machinery and mopeds, Glas later evolved into an automobile manufacturer. The 1304 series occupied a mid-range position in the small mid-size class, during a period when the brand aimed to showcase modern technology and refined finishes.
The 1968 Glas 1304 CL dates from the final phase of Glas’s independent production. In 1966, BMW acquired the brand, and models continued to be produced under the Glas name for a short time before the line was gradually phased out. As a result, the later Glas models belong to a relatively short production period. The Glas 1304 CL is a rare model, holding a special place in Glas’s history as it represents the transition from an independent German brand to integration into the BMW Group.
At the time, the Glas 1304 CL was marketed as a compact family car for buyers who valued technical refinement and a distinctive model lineup. Compared to larger or more common German mid-size cars, the Glas 1304 CL was less prevalent, which adds to its uniqueness today. Its 1968 model year and limited market presence make it particularly appealing to enthusiasts of less common European cars from the late 1960s.
The Glas 1304 CL was part of a series of compact cars with distinctive design and technical features that set it apart from larger contemporaries. The CL designation follows Glas’s typical model structure, offering different variants within the same series. The 1304 series reflected Glas’s move toward more mature passenger cars, emphasizing practicality within a compact size.
This Glas 1304 CL was stored some time ago while still in running condition. It currently requires maintenance for road use. This detail is relevant for potential buyers, as it reflects the car’s usage history and the fact that it is one of the less common models in postwar German automotive history.
The Glas 1304 CL is a rare 1968 model representing the final period of Glas as an independent brand. It was stored in running condition but needs maintenance to be roadworthy again. We recommend attending the viewing day to get a better understanding of the vehicle.
