Comment(s): 9
Albert, Fred and Charles Fisher, whose family had built horse-drawn carriages in Ohio in the late 1800s, Opened Fisher Body in 1908 in Detroit.
They produced car bodies for the likes of Cadillac, Buick, Ford and Studebaker before General Motors purchased 60 percent of the company in 1919.
The six Fisher brothers sold the rest of their shares to GM in 1926, becoming fabulously wealthy in the process, to the tune of $88,000,0000.
Fisher Body existed as a separate division with GM until a 1984 reorganization, when Fisher's 23 stamping, body-assembly and trim plants were folded into GM's larger manufacturing organization.
The 1985 models continued to bear Fisher Body's Napoleonic carriage logo, but by 1996, GM cars carried only division logos.
The Fisher Body Division of General Motors was disbanded as 1984 came to an end

in 1933, Fisher Body developed no-draft ventilation, allowing the in-flow and circulation of fresh air while deflecting the draft (making it more bearable for non-smoking companions of cigarette-smokers in particular), and introduced it on all closed GM cars the same year.

My '66 Nova had the BODY BY FISHER emblem on the door sill. I never understood how the body of a car could be built by someone OTHER than the manufacturer. Thanks for clearing that up.
I like the idea of a car body being strongly built!
I am featured on the BBC website and anxious to bring my weblinks to everyone's attention. Simply visit Google and search the web for Jeremy Keller to access the details.
