http://www.coachbuilt.com/
I found a new website that i think could be added to the "Link" section!
This website is a big a encyclopedia of American coach builders for cars, buses, trucks and more!
It claims to have over 1200 Auto Body Builders Represented!
From horse carriages, car/bus/truck bodies, trailers, customizers, taxies, limousines, hearses and some fire engines! Everything from the 1800's to the 2000's! This could be very usefull to identify buses and trucks bodies!
Most pages have pictures of the brand's car bodies, their factory and sometimes other products they made. (like power-hammers) The pages also includes plenty of history and statements about the brands and the people who ran them, sometimes coming from newspapers from the time!
All pages have a "references" section in them to easily find the source of the information.
You also have the "
Geographical index" which allows you to select brands from specific states! Usefull for determining locations, or if the car was built in another state! Also includes
some Canadian, Mexican, District of Columbia brands.
I really hope this website gets added to the link list as alot of buses and 1920's cars where coachbuilt.
