DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THR MURRAY AUTO BODY CO. OF DETROIT?

THEY MADE AUTO BODIES IN 20'S AND 30'S. WHICH CARS DID THEY BUILD FOR? ETC.

I know they made bodies for Ford Model A's. I'm sure there are others.

Murray owned Dietrich, Inc. which designed and made the body for my 1933 Packard.

Murray Body also built Jordans

Hello,
Just wanted to point out an error on the Murray Body List. Murray did not make the Devaux bodies. They were made by the Hayes corporation.
