Buckle

Bill Buckle of Sydney, New South Wales built fiberglass-body Buckle cars from 1955 until 1961 (until Bill sold the business overseas). In the late 1950's Bill Buckle manufactured the German Glas Goggomile models in Australia (see Goggomobil post). In 1966 Buckle made Mini Monaco from Australian Morris Minis and later "enhanced" the Toyota Celicia.
