VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1937-1945 37 (& 38) cabriolet assembly plants & production #

For 1937, and likely 1938, were the Fisher bodied cabriolets produced in any USA Chevy assembly plants, or just one or 2?

For export models, like my right hand drive (RHD) believed to have been assembled in Argentina, I was told it may have been a crate knock down built in Tarrytown, NY. Many people believe that all Fisher bodied RHD cabriolets where built in Canada, but I can't confirm if any cabriolets originated from Canada.

What is the generally accepted production numbers for Fisher bodied (not Holden) cabriolets in 1937 and 1938?

Thanks in advance. Sorry if this repeats an old thread...it is hard for me to search using my iPhone.

Would be interesting to get the US assembled body and serial numbers. If body number begins with an L it would indicate cabroilet bodies were made in Lansing.
My sorce says 2787 made in 1938 and 1724 in 1937.

You have email showing body tags of 3 1937s

Thank You
All bodies were made at the Flint Fisher Body plant. So it appears that the Flint Body plant made the cabroilet bodies and shipped them to the various assembly plants.
At some point the Lansing Fisher Body plant made convertible bodies for all GM cars.

Is that what the body code of F indicates?

Yes....The later convertibles had a "L" for Lansing.
