Country: United States

Glassic Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer based in Palm Beach, Florida, that operated from 1966 to 1976. The company specialized in producing replicas of classic cars, notably the Ford Model A roadster and phaeton. The initial models were constructed on International Harvester Scout chassis and were powered by a four-cylinder engine. The bodies of these replicas were made from fiberglass, and they were sold exclusively in fully assembled form.

In 1972, the company underwent a change in ownership when it was sold to Fred Pro. Under his leadership, the engine was upgraded to a Ford V8, enhancing the performance of the vehicles. In 1975, Glassic expanded its product line by introducing a replica of the 1935 Auburn Speedster, known as the Romulus, further diversifying its offerings.

Following its original production run, the Glassic line of cars continued to be manufactured from 1976 to 1980 by a company called Replicars, also located in Palm Beach. This transition marked the end of Glassic's independent operations, but the brand's focus on classic car replicas remained a notable aspect of its legacy.
