TM 12 The National Chevy Association July 2019 ______Body by Fisher

BODY BY FISHER

Fisher Body’s beginnings trace back to two brothers, Lawrence and Albert Fisher, in Norwalk, Ohio, in the late 1800s. Albert moved to Detroit, Michigan, where he worked as a carriage builder. He eventually purchased Standard Wagon Works where Henry Ford was a customer. Ford commissioned him to build the body for “Ford’s Contraption” and Fisher soon became a pioneer in the newly fledged automobile industry. Lawrence had a large family of eleven children and in 1908, his two eldest sons, Fred and Charles, would join their uncle Albert in Detroit and establish the Fisher Body Company. Within a short period of time, Charles and Fred brought their five younger brothers into the business.

In the early years of the company, the Fishers had to develop new body designs because the “horseless carriage” bodies did not have the strength to withstand the vibration of the new motorcars.

By 1910, Fisher Body became the supplier of all closed bodies for Cadillac, and some Buick automobiles. By 1913, they had the capacity to produce 100,000 cars per year and their customers included Ford, Krit, Chalmers, Cadillac and Studebaker. One reason for their success was the development of interchangeable wooden body parts that did not require hand-fitting, as was the case in the construction of carriages. This required the design of new precision woodworking tools. By 1914, their operation had become the world‘s largest manufacturer of auto bodies.

In 1916, the company became the Fisher Body Corporation. By then, it was producing 370,000 bodies per year and included Abbot, Buick, Cadillac, Chalmers, Chandler, Chevrolet, Churchfield, Elmore, EMF, Ford, Herreshoff, Hudson, Krit, Oldsmobile, Packard, Regal, and Studebaker among its customers. At its peak, the company had more than 40 plants encompassing 3,700,000 square feet of floor space, employed more than 100,000 people, and pioneered many improvements in tooling and automobile design, including closed all- weather bodies.

In 1919, General Motors purchased 60% of the company. After the acquisition of Fleetwood Metal Body in 1925, the Fisher Company was integrated as an in-house coachbuilding division of General Motors. It finally ceased being a unique entity when it was merged with other operations in 1984, although GM vehicles displayed a “Body by Fisher” emblem on their door sill plates until the mid-1990s.
