Carl F.W. Borgward man and Cars Carl Friedrich
Wilhelm Borgward (1890 1963) worked his way up from humble to the
top of a major car manufacturer. As the inventor and producer of cheap
cars, he opened up the car to the mass market and played an important
role in the rapid motorization of Germany after the Second World War.
The group of companies Borgward was in the postwar years to 1961 the
largest industrial plant in Bremen and an important economic factor
in northern Germany. At times there is more than 20,000 employees
working in three car factories (Borgward / Goliath / Lloyd). On the
whole, under Borgwards director were about one million vehicles produced
from Hansa Consul in 1931 to the technically innovative and aesthetically
successful Borgward Isabella and P 100 models. Sales declined in the
early 1960s, and the state closed his businesses early summer of 1961

Two Stroke Cars Of The Past "Hi. I'm not a member - not even in the UK! But I am a DKW owner and Borgward fan from Australia. I thought I would pass along a link to a new book that has been published about two stroke cars. It's mainly focused on DKW, Trabants and Wartburg but it does have a section about Lloyd, Hansa and Goliath cars and trucks. It's not the most comprehensive book in the world but it is that rare thing - a book about mainly German cars in ENGLISH Paul Markham" Author Mark Telford www.wartburg353knight.blogspot.com English Paperback
