Graber and Wikipedia

[John Murch]

In researching some Graber bodied cars, I looked at the Wikipedia entry for Graber. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graber

I was surprised to read the following "The Alvis Owners’ Club maintains that the resemblance between the Graber bodied cars and those bodied by the UK firms was only superficial."

Surely that is not the view of the Club? Park Ward, as I understand matters, purchased the Jigs etc., and while the design was modified, describing it as only having a superficial resemblance seems unlikely. Perhaps someone with knowledge of how to edit wiki content could amend the entry to something more realistic.

John,

At first instance it would be interesting to know who wrote the item. A comment by the Chairman would be appreciated.

The original website is no longer current but I have amended the Wiki entry which was inaccurate in several respects.

It is well known that you should not believe everything you read on such sites. John Fox, our Graber Model Secretary, is much better informed to comment on Graber cars than I but I believe that the Graber cars were a significant influence on the redesign of the 3 litre cars.
