Gave my best, but tapping out. There were dozens of fiberglass sports car body makers in 50s/60s like Kellison Cheetah Devin Victress etc, many only made a handful of bodies. I tip my hat to anyone who can positive ID with example photo. #DavesCarIDFail
Around 1950 a lot of small scale fiberglass boat makers started making sports car kit bodies and sold them thru magazines; very few were closed cockpit with doors. This one is definitely not a Kellison or any of the makes in previous tweet
save your ill-informed vague conjectures madam, we are on official Car ID Police business
Besides the Corvette, the only US production fiberglass sports car was the 1954 Kaiser Darrin, with its crazy sliding pocket doors
And the most wildly successful fiberglass kit body wasn't a sports car, it was the VW-based Meyers Manx, which spawned the whole 1960s dune buggy craze and numerous bad Hanna-Barbera cartoons
turn in your Saturday morning boomer TV badge, sir, the Banana Splits' Banana Buggies were based on 6-wheel Amphicats
