Carving Out a Career in the Design World 1950s Style
By John L. Jacobus
Published in Woodcarving Illustrated, Spring 2007

Many woodcarvers got their start as a youth designing cars for the Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild competition… The Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild (FBCG) was a corporate-sponsored youth outreach program, which brought together boys and young men (ages 12-20) from across America in a combination industrial arts competition and a General Motors' (GMC) talent search. College scholarships were awarded to those demonstrating the highest technical skill in constructing a 1:18 scale Miniature Model Napoleonic Coach (1930 -1947) or a scratch-built 1:12 scale model "Dream Car," incorporating their own original styling ideas (1937-1968).
