Here are pics of my 1960 Hansa 1100 sedan and 1958 Goliath 1100 sedan
Here she is mostly back together (Oct. 2005), after the paint job. The roof is gloss black, and the body is a 1956
Ford color called Fiesta Red, which is very close to an original Goliath color which was called Tropical Coral. The
paint is polyurathane and was sprayed by MAACO.
Front end shows off many NOS parts, including parking light lenses (atop the fenders), grill center piece, chrome
trim around the grill, and hubcaps.
Grill shell, grill, and front bumper came from a donor car in New Mexico. Other pieces, including turn signal lenses,
hood ornament and trim are original to the car
Rear of car shows off its NOS bumper, & chromed trunk handle. Tail light lenses are original, but
the bezels came from Dave Mullett of VT. Two tone paint job really brings out the lines of the car.
All side chrome pieces are original to the car.
Hansa 1100 scripts have been painted gold and look almost plated.
Dummy spotlight is mounted where the mirror was located. Original mirror was broken, and a new one has not been
found, so a generic vintage mirror is mounted to the door.
Interior panels are original; offwhite center section was repainted with vinyl paint. Grey sections are untouched.
Plastic strips under windows are original bakelite plastic, which were originally brown, but were repainted grey to
match the interior as was done on the upscale Goliath Tiger Coupe' and Empress/Luxus models.
All areas under hood and truck, and all door jams were painted the Fiesta Red, as car was originally all black (as you'll
see below).
Fresh from the paint shop!! (Sept 16th 2005).
I think she's saying: "Put me back together!"
Pic from the shop, just after the black paint was sprayed on the roof. Car was stripped of most of its original
paint, and may dents and creases were pounded out and filled.
Butch and the boys down at MAACO did a nice job!
...and before the paint job...
