Buckle Motors

Buckle Motors Pty Ltd is an Australian car dealership chain and former manufacturer that produced the famous Goggomobil Dart.

After testing and minor design changes, the finished vehicle was first manufactured in June 1957 as the Buckle 2.5 Litre in a factory in Punchbowl, New South Wales.

In 1958 Buckle traveled to Dingolfing, Bavaria to discuss the manufacture of Goggomobil vehicles in Australia with Hans Glas.

An agreement was reached in which the chassis, engine and running gear would be imported and the body would be manufactured in Australia at the Punchbowl factory.

The Carryall actually shared its chassis with the Dart, and uniquely featured a side-mounted rollerdoor as its sole loading door.
