	Fisher Heritage Page
		In the early years of the company, the Fisher Brothers had to develop new body designs because the "horseless carriage" bodies did not have the strength to withstand the vibrations of the new motorcars.
		Part of the reason for their success was the development of interchangeable wooden body parts that did not have to be hand-fitted, as was the case in the construction of carriages.
		Because of Fisher Corporation's experience in the metal stamping and long association as a GM supplier, they were given the opportunity to bid on a portion of that requirement.
