Search: Old catalogs from 50s/60s with Model T Fiberglass bodies

I am looking for old part catalogs (speedway etc.), where thes offered 1927 Model T roadster bodies......

Hey carkiller, thanks, but I couldnt find them in the net.....Can You help? Biggest thanks!!!

 

Hi,Do you want to buy the mags or just a scan of the add?
glider.

 

What exactly are you after adds or an actuall 27T body thats affordable ?I can help you with the latter

 

A mag to buy would be helpful for the german technical supervising bureau........

 

I am after the adds.......

 

I have some Hot Rod mags from 1961 - pretty sure there is a small ad in the back of one for fibre '27 T roadster bodies.

 

Hi cruiserbuddy, I have a old Custom Rodder with a feature on a built fibergl*** T Roadster!

 

We bought a gl*** 27 T body in 1961. I believe it was a Kellinon, thin made for racing.

 

AI fibergl*** or Anderson Industries made them. I want to say Cal Custom or Cal automotive had one too, but don't quote me on the name. I think it was Cal something. Of course later Wescot and Gibbon mad them.

I took mine home in a 74 Datsun P/U. When I looked in the rear view mirror it was standing straight up on it's firewall. We tied the front down but the solid deck lid acted like an air foil lifting it up on it's nose. Back then you had to do all the wood reinforcing yourself and cut your own doors and deck lid. I just could not get into that and sold it as I bought it...a shell.

 

Hey cruiserbuddy,

Just went thru my briefcase with all the stuff I collected during our trip to the States in 66 and I've got a Dragmaster leaflet which is a single sheet 4 page leaflet with a B&W pic on the front of a 23 bucket with a pickup bed then inside it has an exploded view of a 23 roadster. I've also got 3 separate pages with an exploded view of all the fibergl*** components from "Fibergl***Production" Affiliate Division of Dragmaster with prices on the back. Another page lists 18 kit combinations with prices of the Dragmaster kits then the last page also has a price sheet with F.O.B. Carlsbad prices and the "Kit Story" telling you all about the kits.

Loved this bit from the "Kit Story", in the Wheels and Tires section.
"Rader" wheels are used as original equipment as are the "Casler" "original" cheater slicks, or you may choose from the hundreds of wheels and tires available.

I can't post pics on here-too dumb!- but I could scan and email it to you if you are interested. BTW on the front page of the leaflet there is a typewritten note stapled on saying 10% price increase in all prices effective 1-1-66 Dragmaster Company so that dates the leaflet if that's what you're after.

Here's a few scans from early 60s HRMs. Not too much for 27s as, I believe, they were catering more to the fad T bucket craze of the period.

 

Thanks, Rootie!

 

Thanks, Swifty, for scanning and mailing, merry X-mas to down under.

To all others: Keep on sending, the more info, I got, the better it is.....

 

Allied fibergl***....1967.......

 

Cal Automotive....196?.....

 

Anderson Industries, catalog is from the 70's but I would guess they first made that body available in the 60's.

 

Yeah, great guys, THANKS!!!!!!!

This should blow the "Officials" away in Germany......

 

Here's one I ordered in the mid 60s when I thought a bucket T would make a great first car. I settled for an A coupe.

Biggest Thanks!

Does anyone of You guys have an old original catalog with fibergl*** bodies for sale?

 

Still looking for old speedway catalogues with the fibergl*** T roadster body in it. Anyone has one for sale?

 

Seeing how you resurrected this thread, just what are the "Officals" looking for?

 

Great thread of good old information....... Thanks!
