    '46-'48 Ford fiberglass bodies

     



    Does anyone make these? Or maybe just fenders, doors, etc.?

    Thanks

    Yogi's used to sell a glass convertible body; www.yogisinc.com

    Quite frankly, the availability of these (other than conv and woodie) is too high to justify tooling up for a glass car. As for fenders, try The Fairlane Co.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Thanks. The reason I asked is because I saw a convertible over the weekend that was glass, but I didn't know anyone made one.

    So did Yogi stop selling them? I looked on their website, and they didn't have them listed.

    You'd have to email or call them for that answer. My guess would be that they didn't sell enough of them to make it worth doing. While somewhat rare, they're not THAT rare compared to demand.
