Preview (beginning of the article)

Plastic, synthetic material, fiberglass, polyester, glass fibers, etc. are all terms that are used in connection with car bodies that are not made of sheet steel or aluminum. The first use of plastic for car bodies dates back many years, and many interesting vehicle designs were created in the 1950s and 1960s precisely because plastic could be used to produce small series at low cost. The USA has a particularly rich plastic body culture, although many of the brands such as Brooks Boxer, Glasspar, Ascot, Woodill Wildfire, Irwin Lancer, Scorpion, Wasp, Edwards, Grantham Stardust, Venus, Meteor, Kurtis, Maverick Sportster, Victress, BMC Singer, Vale, Allied, Atlas, Multiplex, Bosley, Lasaetta, Chicagoan, Lightning, Rockefeller Yankee, Triplex, Hollywood Plastics, Snohomish Plastics, Almquist, Alken, Sorrell, Bangert, McCormack, La Dawri, Kellison, Byers, BoCar, Devin, LeMans Coupe, and many others fell into oblivion again after their peak in the 1950-1965 period.
