VintageBus.com Image Gallery - Bus Clones

Pix of bus-like vehicles. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and man of VW's period competitors tried to emulate their sucess with the transporter. Even Chrysler is a modern day hanger-on, claiming to have invented the minivan (VW 1949), and claiming to have invented the double-door (VW 1953).

07/03/02	fs	Sorry if the following reads confusingly. I have a parts-and-pieces Goliath truck... soon to go to one of those tax scam donation people if they'll take it. or to scrap. anyone know where to advertise it so that someone might actually use it or some of it? I’ve posted on Borgward message boards, usenet, and one local area ad site. ------------------------- since the ad I found more pics on http://vintagebus.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?string=goliath 3rd and 4th pics from bottom, of "pickup". These are better than the photo I linked to in the ad, because ours has the cab body rounded, grille and air scoop (what to call that?) under the windshield, as shown in these photos. However the sheet metal doesn’t "protrude" around the headlights as shown in these photos. http://www.vintagebus.com/gallery/image/515.JPG http://www.vintagebus.com/gallery/image/1245.JPG Ours is mostly disassembled, the body is red with gray primer, but it has fine "dusting" of rust forming in places. At the edge of the roof there is a rust colored blotch similar to the blotch on the door of 515.JPG (definitely not close to scaling etc.) Ours has black hubcaps with a stylized red "G". The roof is about 6’ 2" high.. ==================== The above is recent info The following is older info I posted in ad(s): ==================== '59 (?) Goliath (Borgward) truck: "Cute". Rusty, weathered with cracked windshield. Also have some usable and many unusable parts. Some engine parts broken, so probably needs engine swap of different manufacturer engine. Rusting. Plywood bed. Red. Heavy payload capability. Front engine/rear drive. Potential sleeper/project (huge mid engine)? It is red, but looks a lot like on http://home.c2i.net/toestlie/borgward/danm98/dk_pic6.htm Will give free or it will go to wreckers. (likely! :) ) Central Contra Costa ------------------- I can’t find my film photos I took about one month ago, else I’d scan and post photos. thanks in advance for any help for888sale@yahoo.com
