Remembering Renzo Revolta (Automobile Pioneer)

We think it's fitting to honor Renzo Rivolta (1908-1966) on the 100th year since his birth. Mr. Rivolta's company produced many vehicles, starting with scooters and going on to celebrated sports cars like the Iso Rivolta. Along with designers Pierluigi Raggi and Ermenegildo Preti he built one of the most unusual cars ever. Of course it's our beloved Isetta. Mr. Preti and Mr. Rivolta are seated and Mr. Raggi is standing.

Remembering Hans Glas (Automobile Pioneer)

We honor Hans Glas on the 40th year since his passing. Mr. Glas produced one of the most popular cars in our in our field, the Goggomobil. Above we have a picture of him with his grandson, also named Hans, but called Goggo as a nickname. Hans' son Andreas named their first venture into motorscooters the Goggo Roller and when they started to build cars, the name Goggomobil was chosen. For more of the Hans Glas story go to -
