I Think it is a Borgward "Goliath" ..........and they raced the "Borgward" at Lemans in 1953
1934 Goliath Pionier |Borgward was a German car manufacturer that made quite a few interesting models, and yet very few ever found their way to the United States. Goliath, was a subset of Borgward that operated from 1928 to 1959 and specialized in three-wheeled cars and trucks such as the unusual car in this photo. This car is a 1934 Goliath Pionier. In the early-to-mid thirties people in Germany were looking for inexpensive personal transportation. The Pionier was created to meet this need. This car, a three-wheeler with a 1-cylinder, 2-stroke engine, was cramped and weak but met the modest standards of most German drivers. The wooden body was covered with artificial leather and mounted on a strong U-profiled chassis. In 1934, 4,000 units were sold.Goliath continued to upgrade and innovate its micro-cars into the 1950s. Eventually, however, the company lost market share to the new VW Beetle and the DKW F89P Meisterklasse, cheaper cars that had more interior space and power. The Goliath brand died in 1959. Borgward, which had built its first car in 1929, survived in Germany until 1963. Later that year all manufacturing equipment for the Borgward Isabella and P100 (their final two models) was sold to Mexico where production was continued until 1970
