Acme Fiberglass did a hardtop similar to the Kellison item too, could they be involved?

from a 'known' company like Acme or Kellison, or created by an individual?

Did this company ever get round to making complete bodies for cars or were they limited to accessories like the hardtop and bonnet shown here?

Carnut

They went on to make their own complete bodies!

That really was a good lucky guess!

I had no idea Sorrell made this sort of thing before. Everyday is a learning experience at AP. Quite a handsome beast, too!
