Cars Cut From a Different Cloth: Weymann Fabric Bodies

Quote:
Yes, the notion of a fabric automobile body may seem more than a little strange today, but in the 1920s the approach had considerable merit. The most successful fabric body system was developed by Charles Terres Weymann, a French-American aviator, inventor, and entrepreneur who decided that the fabric-over-wood aircraft construction of the time could be successfully adapated to automobile bodies. Opening his first plant in Paris in 1921, he soon added facilities in London and Indianapolis, serving a steady stream of customers seeking coach built bodywork.

If either the bumblebee stripe or like in this case, no stripes were ordered, then an R/T emblem was placed below the beltline of the "Challenger" emblem. This one is missing that emblem.



Despite what you see, it was taken off the 1971 models. But for some reason most 71 Hemi Challengers have added it. It's wrong.

I just found the pictures of my unrestored Riverside Gold L-89 Coupe the NCRS used for Judging manuals way back in the day. (that's what I was told by the Guy I bought it from back in July 1999) Ohio plate: L89VET. Cool Car, but I thought it was very slow for what it was. Bill
