Starting in Detroit in 1908, this company appeared in Walkerville on Edna Street in the early teens. The company, though originally formed for the manufacture of automobile bodies for Ford, produced bodies for such companies as Chevrolet, Chalmers, E-M-F and Studebaker. "Body by Fisher" became a popular slogan. The size of the plant was doubled in 1919 and in 1920 it began making passenger car bodies for General Motors. It later became a part of General Motors and its premises were used for the assembly of GMC trucks and buses from 1930 to 1932. Links: Detroit
