Fabulous Fiberglass: One of two design symposiums presented on the Saturday before EyesOn Design at Ford House.Enjoy a fascinating conversation with Geoff Hacker, Ph.D. on the wonder material of the 1950s, the 'carbon fiber' of its day.
A premier researcher, archivist and author of the history of handcrafted American sports cars and a cofounder of Forgotten Fiberglass, Hacker owns Undiscovered Classics, the Florida-based company which finds and restores these rare cars.
Geoff's work has been seen on television including Jay Leno's Garage, AmeriCarna, and the "Barn Find Hunter."
The Fabulous Fiberglass symposium will take place amid the historic splendor of the 88-acre home of Edsel and Eleanor Ford, at the beautiful new Visitor Center.
Consider lunch reservations at The Continental, or register for both symposiums and grab a snack in between from The Speedster.
