OK, they made the fibergalss bodies until 1966 or 1967 I think. Is that what you are looking for? :D

Actually my uncle had a 63 or 64 vette and when I got mine we were talking about all kinds of stuff about them. This came up and stuck in my mind because as long as I can remember I always saw the "Body by Fisher" plate on GM's

silvervetteman....

Where was that logo at on those cars? I remember seeing them... just don't remember where. Under the hood? Inside door?

And was it on every GM car or just selected models/makes?

silvervetteman....

My question still is... "Did GM only put that logo on the door sills of Vettes during those years or was it on all models/makes?" GM was full of it if they put it on every car as the '71-'72 Vega was in that group. Excellence my butt!

I cheated and looked it up, but will let 82dukman :banghead: :banghead: until he decides he's had enough and answers.
