List of body manufacturers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Body Manufacturers List includes companies that have manufactured or are manufacturing automobile bodies, sorted by brand name .

It only contains manufacturers who

  1. Complete automobile bodies for passenger cars by hand as individual pieces ("special bodies") or in small series
  2. Complete automobile bodies for passenger cars in industrial (large) series
  3. Complete conversions of passenger cars (e.g. conversion of limousines into station wagons)
  4. Design studies for passenger cars

manufacture or have manufactured.

The list expressly does not contain any

  1. internal design departments of automobile manufacturers
  2. Designers as individuals (a separate list is in preparation)
  3. Companies operating exclusively in the commercial vehicle sector without (former) passenger cars. These are included in the list of commercial vehicle manufacturers .
  4. Outfitter
  5. (optical) tuners
  6. Exclusive manufacturers of "professional cars" (ambulances of all kinds, emergency vehicles for the police, fire brigade, etc., hearses and stretch limousines (a separate list is in preparation; on a commercial vehicle basis, see list of commercial vehicle manufacturers ))

Tuners and refiners can be found in the list of tuning companies .

Explanation of the individual columns

  • The brand name is in the Brand Name column . If the brand appears relevant, the name is linked; otherwise not.
  • The State column shows the state in which the manufacturer of the brand has or had its registered office. If the manufacturer was based in different states due to changes in state policy, there is a separate entry for each state so that the sorting by state works. There are no links in this column. The abbreviation UK stands for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland .
  • The last company headquarters as a body manufacturer is shown in the Location column . In the case of the USA , the abbreviation for the state can be placed after the place, without being separated by a comma. There are no links in this column.
  • The Short Description column contains comments on the active time, special or series body construction, chassis used (in brackets) as well as some entries with the English spelling of the brand name if it is translated from Russian into English. Links are mostly undesirable in this column. They only make sense if there is no article for the brand, but an article for a single model.

Notes on sortability and manual search

It is possible to carry out several sortings one after the other. The sorting z. B. first by place and then by state has the effect that the table is sorted by state and, within the states, by place.

With the help of the table of contents above the table you can jump directly to the first letter. The jump always takes place to the first or last time the first letter appears in the last sorted column. Alternatively, you can jump to the corresponding separating line in the table by searching for an initial letter and three periods.

  • “Subcontractor” means that serial bodies were produced that appeared under the name of the commissioning bodybuilder. As a rule, these bridged their own capacity bottlenecks
  • "In The White" means that primed bodyshells without interior fittings and fittings were delivered to the contracting car manufacturer.
