from the Bill Buckle website

"Buckle Motors Pty Ltd., was established in 1927 by William G Buckle with showrooms at 127 William Street, Sydney, starting with Triumph and Talbot franchises for NSW.

This company subsequently gained N.S.W. franchises for Armstrong-Siddeley and De Soto (Chrysler Corp.) vehicles.  In 1949 Citroen was added to the group.

In 1954, W F Buckle (Bill Buckle Snr.) having been involved in various forms of motor sport in Australia and the UK, began design and construction of a fibreglass-bodied sports car using Ford Zephyr components and named Buckle 2.5 Coupe.  These cars held every hill climb and lap record for G.T. class at circuits on the East coast, and twenty four were produced.

In 1958, Bill Buckle Snr. went to Dingolfing in Bavaria to convince Hans Glas that we could produce fibreglass bodies for Goggomobil cars, and obtained the rights for Australia.  About 5000 cars were assembled from the German mechanical parts, with various style bodies, including the Dart, a light sports car, designed by Bill Buckle Snr...."
