Glasspar G2

A year and a half later, with a great deal of trial and error, the body was finished, set on the chassis and christened the Brooks Boxer in mid 1951.

He worked for Douglas Aircraft's Production Planning and Illustration Departments during World War II, and by 1945 had built a number of catamaran sailboats.

In 1947, John Green, a yachtsman friend, paid Tritt to design and build a racing sailboat in the twenty foot range.

About this time the Korean War was raging, and Tritt was having difficulty acquiring polyester resin for his cars and boats.

Life then featured the car in a story, as did the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and many auto trade magazines.

His last fiberglass car design was the Ascot which the Glasspar board of directors rejected in favor of staying with the core business of boat building.
