1962 Goggomobil TL-250 Transporter Pickup
This model sports an air-cooled, 250-cc, two-cylinder, two-stroke engine located under an access panel flush with the bed and behind the rear wheels.
It rolls on four 10-inch wheels, and the rear end is geared down slightly to handle payloads.
In addition to the driver, the truck can hold one passenger who rides on a wafer-thin, flip-down seat.
Two sliding doors akin to a UPS delivery truck — German postal workers used Goggo vans as official vehicles — complete the cab, whose floor is covered with wooden slats.
To accommodate the sliding doors, the truck’s roof and walls extend past the rear window nearly half the length of the bed. It’s as though the van body were chopped off just ahead of the rear axle.
This styling touch also creates a little extra storage space.
Since the entire bed is raised to accommodate the motor, the cab’s floor extends about two feet past the back wall.
Weighing in at a scant 1,300 pounds, the Goggo is about 9 feet long, 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide.
It can travel up to 65mph and achieves up to 24mpg.
Its wheelbase alone is more than 4 feet shy of a basic 2010 Chevy Silverado regular cab.
Built from 1955 to 1964 by Hans Glas GmbH of Dingolfing, Germany, the Goggo pickup shared platforms with a two-seater coupé, four-seater sedan, and a “Transporter” work van.
It originally cost about $1,000.
Nearly 300,000 Goggos were built.
Of those, about 3,600 were Transporters, mostly vans.

Remarkable. Just a split second before the comet hit. Relatively little damage, too.

Designed in the 1950s by Frank LLoyd Wright, Price Tower is a 19-story building in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The building's floors are all cantilevered from a structural core, leading Wright to describe Price Tower as "the tree that escaped the crowded forest." (Photo: Lane Pearman / Wikimedia)
