German Cars Gathered In Glendale

 

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s Germany. with the help of their Western allies, did a lot to re-build their country following World War II. One of the first and strongest industries to emerge was their automobile companies. It took a bit longer than some of the other European countries following the war but Germany began making in-roads in foreign markets including the United States. Making for affordable small entry level cars as well as luxury machines, the German companies soon were importing a lot of vehicles to America. Because of this there were a number of German cars on hand for the recent Glendale Gathering. Among them was a 1969 BMW 2002, a BMW M5, a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, a 1970 Mercedes Benz 280 SL, a 1969 Mercedes Benz 280 SL, and a Porsche 356.
