http://www.fisherguild.com/ Below is an article on the Fisher Body Guild by John Jacobus.  It highlights some of the great achievements and memories of the Fisher Body Guild held from the 1930's thru the late 1980's.  Many of the people who both designed and built fiberglass cars in the 1950's and 1960's were part of this organization, participated in the events, or certainly knew about this event, and followed it in the news each year.  Some of the most influential designers today were part of the Fisher Body Guild, and John Jacobus's book is an outstanding history of the Guild from start to finish.
