According to "Autos die Geschichte machiten Goggomobil", a total of 9 of the Goggomobil coupe cabrios were built. 2 in 1957, 7 in 1958. Only 1 was a 300cc - This one - The rest were 250cc’s. |

This is one of the Goggomobil Cabrios original photos from 1958, used for Goggomobil advertising.
The Photos below shows how it looked in 2000.
The Goggomobil Cabrio was never put into production. Only a handful were ever made. There are no official records of how many total were made but most believe it was less than 10. There are 2 known to survive, one in Germany and this one.
It uses the same parts as the coupe however, the main framework is different. They welded in a stronger section of metal in the rocker area to give it more strength with the hardtop missing.
