Sold at auction for $138,000
in February 2013 The majority of Goggomobil transporters were vans used by the Deutsche Bundespost, the German postal service. More than 1,500 vans were also purchased by tradespeople and cities for use as service and delivery vehicles. A tiny proportion was bodied in semi-open pickup configuration like this example, which bears the familiar Coca Cola logo. It seems fitting, then, that the most popular collectible logo should be applied to one of the world’s rarest trucks. Of the 3,665 Goggomobil transporter vehicles built between 1957 and 1965, a tiny portion comprised open-back pickups. This vehicle is one of them. Unconventional even among pickups, it has a short canopy behind the cab, offering partial shelter to the truck’s cargo. SPECIFICATIONS |
