Saw this when reading about Norwalk:
Quote:
Fisher Auto Body can trace its beginnings to the horse-drawn carriage shop in Norwalk where the Fisher's learned their trade before moving to Detroit.
The first horseless carriage built in Norwalk was a steam car produced by Ethan Sly in 1902. By 1905, forty-nine Norwalk residents owned automobiles.
The Auto-Bug Company was formed in Norwalk in 1909 and became the Norwalk Motor Car Company in 1910.
Cars were manufactured in a building at Linwood and Monroe Streets, which shipped up to six automobiles per day.
The company introduced the “Norwalk 35” model which reportedly could travel 50 miles per hour.
