By the 1950s the company started by the Fisher Brothers to provide custom bodies for rich people had become the pillar of General Motors manufacturing empire. Every division relied on Fisher body to deliver the sheet metal it would sell. Eventually, the Fisher division was done away with when it was considered to be too ungainly but in the 1950s it was the king of auto manufacturing.

    (9/29/2019) I’m not old enough, but I am old enough to remember seeing a horse pulled carriage fisher body logo stamped on the metal strips that were placed below old car doors. I just don’t remember on which cars. I’ll be fifty next year. But this video draws me all the same towards comfort in the good ‘ol days.

    Its so hard watching videos of how self reliant we were. How productive and proud we were in producing some of the best products in the world. Now we are reduced to consumerism from corporations outsourcing to sub par quality in the name of profits. American pride is no more. R.I.P. To the greatest Country the world has ever seen.

    My ancestors owned the Brewster Carriage Works back in the 1800's. When the old man died it was split up between his sons. 1 son failed. 1 did ok. And the 3rd ended up selling his part to some man named Fisher. The Fishers took it from a carriage company to what we all know now as Fisher Body.

    The music reminds me of victory in Europe documentaries, showing ally troops driving through liberated cities and villages with cheering locals lining the way.
