Shell of an extremely rare German luxury car from the 1960s, a Glas 3000 V8, built in Dingolfing by the Hans Glas Company and unfinished examples badged/titled as BMWs after the 1968 merger of BMW and Hans Glas. The Glas company initially made the famous Goggomobil microcar and even some tiny walk-in vans before making the ultimately fatal decision to make fully fledged cars with a novel but unreliable belt-driven overhead cam engine layout that was also an interference engine. Due to its Pietro Frua body design resembling that of the Maserati Sebring, it was nicknamed the "Glaserati" in period.
