This is a cool site dedicated to a nearly-forgotten sub-genre of the vintage hot rod/sports car. After WW II people took advantage of the use of fiberglass to create many different cars, using chassis they scavenged from wrecking yards, for the most part.
In the back of Hot Rod, Road & Track, Car and Driver, and it's predecessor, Sports Cars Illustrated, you could find small ads for auto body manufacturers like La Dawri ("look, it's a La Dawri!"), Kellison, and Myers. There were many, many others, and that doesn't include the people who decided to make a 'one-off.'
Anyway, if you're into obscure cars like I am, this is a good place to spend some time.

This seems to be by some of the same people as the first site. I like this speedster belly-tank car, built just after WW II. This is a replica, built after consultation w/the original designer.
