Fibersport was an American automobile manufacturer active from 1953 to 1955, founded by John C. Mays in Towanda, Illinois. The company initially focused on producing a lightweight glassfibre body designed to be mounted on a Crosley chassis. This approach allowed for a more affordable and efficient production process, catering to the growing interest in sports cars during the post-war era.

As the brand developed, Fibersport transitioned to utilizing Mays' own tubular frame for later models. This innovation aimed to enhance the structural integrity and performance of the vehicles, distinguishing them from their earlier offerings. Despite its brief existence, Fibersport contributed to the diversification of the American automotive landscape during the 1950s, reflecting the era's enthusiasm for innovative design and materials in car manufacturing.
