Can anyone tell me more about Fibrocar - are they a coachbuilder and if so did they build bodies for other marques?
Thanks

Looks very familiar but my brain won't unlock the filing cabinet. Is it US fiberglass?

Fibrocar? on Alfa 1900?

... Iluvatar is close enough, as this is indeed an Alfa Romeo 1900 bodied in a Corvette style by Fibrocar Bruxelles, to give this obscure Belgian coachbuilder its full name. I thought this was going to be a tough one, so a very well deserved point to Iluvatar.
