Did You Know...

“Dashboards on fiberglass sports cars of the ‘50s are like fingerprints to modern detectives. If a dashboard has been left virtually unchanged, the current configuration can be matched back to the handiwork of the original fabricator and car – as long as vintage pictures of the car with dashboard remain.”

— Geoff Hacker, Rick D’louhy: Forgotten Fiberglass, 2010
