Fisher Body Post War 194X

>Automobilia

This – ladies & gentlemen – is one of the original post war planning documents of the Fisher Body Division of General Motors, Detroit, dated October 2, 1944, as handed out to Messrs. Albert Bradley, T.P. Archer and L.D. Crusoe (this very copy!). It’s called the ‘Interim Program’ and its purpose is to plan design, production and pricing as soon as the production plants (10 in total) will become available “at the termination of the European phase of the war […]”. It contains the projected 12 months’ production of 900.000 cars in 194X (sic).

Text pages seem to be produced on a typewriter, using black ribbon plus red and green. Some pictorial pages seem early Xerox prints or the like. The car models are apparently cut from existing offset print and glued onto the pages. The interior mock-ups are included as original photographs. This extremely rare document was produced by using available office equipment and has no title on the dark red front cover… Top Secret!
