One shell, many names.

Fiberglass freed the small builder — and in 1950s America dozens of them bodied cars from bought, borrowed and copied molds. The same shell was sold under a dozen marques, so a car's real identity often isn't its badge but its mold lineage — an authenticity axis no VIN registry captures. This is the first tranche: the near-lost 1950s American fiberglass specials, documented by the molds that made them.
