Hommik Kirjutas:The very first "plastic-body" car, however, resides in the Detroit Historical Museum. It's called Scarab and was developed in secrecy during 1944-'45 by the Graham-Paige Motor Co., funded with $100,000 from Owens Corning Corp., a pioneer in glass technology. The Scarab never made it into production and Graham-Paige soon moved into the history books.
Põhimõtteliselt õige vastus jah!
Tegelikult tuntakse seda autot nimedega Stout "Project Y" või "Forty-Six". William B Stout ehitas enne sõda mõned nö. mahtuniversaalid Stout Scarab, mille tehnikal antud auto põhinema peaks. Ja Graham-Paige'i tehase ostnud Kaiser-Frazeril olnud vist tõesti plaan seda masinat tootma hakata.
