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.
