Recently, my parents just moved into a new home and furnished their home with A Fisher Body Coach w/o the horses. I became curious about this center piece and my father told me that when he graduated college he made this purchase from the silver creations company, surprisingly it has never been shown or displayed. I then began searching the internet to find out more about its current market value. I would appreciate it any other information that you have regarding this piece.</div></div>

I was under the impression that those coaches were given out to the winners of the Student Fisher Body Car Design contests.

Oh Ok, Keiser. They were the ones that Steve Moskowitz had spoken of a couple years ago.

I'll do a search tomorrow and see if I can find it.

Thanks,

Wayne

Wayne, a good friend of mine has or had one. I'll find out more about it.

I just asked my father how he got the Fisher Body Coach 1923-1973. He said that they were for sale at the GM dealers and only 2,000 made. Thanks guys for your help.

A friend of mine in Columbus, Wisconsin has one. He told me his brother built it in 1935 for a contest held by GM or Fisher Body and he won a four year college scholarship with it. He went on to become an aircraft engineer. Every part of the couch was hand made and is beautiful, a real piece of art. The model is about 12 inches long.
