The full four seater arrived in
January with the 1204 which had its cylinder stroke extended from 61 mm to 73 mm, to give an engine capacity of 1,189 cc and claimed maximum power of 53 PS (39 kW) at 5,100 rpm. The larger engined car was also offered as a coupé and as a

Press comment in a country where technical innovation generates enthusiasm was very positive in respect of the car's status as the world's first production car to be fitted with a belt driven camshaft, but criticised the unresponsiveness of the standard drum brakes and the heavy clutch. The car's

In
November 1963 Glas added twin carburettor versions of both the 992 cc and 1,189 cc engined cars which were branded as the Glas 1004 TS and the Glas 1204 TS. Claimed maximum horsepower output on these twin carburettor powered cars were 63 PS (46 kW) at 6,000 rpm and

The 2+2 coupé was advertised at 5,595 DM, a price which increased to 5,865 DM in
November 1963. From January 1963 the cabriolet was also offered, priced at a recommended 6,500. The Glas 1004 had the smallest engine in the range, and this was offered in combination with the full four-seater

Two fastback bodied kombi-limousines (estate cars) arrived in August 1966. Estate cars of this size – at least in
Germany – were still relatively uncommon. The kombi-limousines could be purchased as either 1004 CL or 1304 CL, with the "CL" standing for
