The Woodill Wildfire was a sports car built by Dodge and Willys dealer Blanchard Robert "Woody" Woodill from 1952 to 1958 in Downey California. The Wildfire used a Glasspar fiberglass body and is credited with being the first complete fiberglass car available with approximately 15 produced and another 285 sold as kits.[1] A child's version of the vehicle called the Brushfire was also available.[2]
In September, 2012 a Woodill Wildfire was featured on the Discovery Channel TV show Fast n Loud. The stars of the show, Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas, Texas did light restoration and modification to the vehicle for resale. According to the show theirs was one of only nine Wildfires still known to exist.[3]
