W. O. Bentley commented, "What a blessing those Weymann bodies were! When metal coachbuilding resulted in a continuous and ever-varying chorus of rattles and squeaks and chirrups, and a weight that terribly handicapped performance, the fabric-and-wood Weymann body gave complete silence without any sort of resonance, and almost negligible weight. Their only disadvantage, in the eyes of chauffeurs and some proud owners was that they could not be polished and never gave the same satisfactory shine as half a dozen good coats of paint on steel or aluminum."

Tom Hibbard, of Hibbard & Darrin, wasn't so complimentary when he observed, "Those (Weymann) bodies were both light and quiet, but gave people the shivers who were familiar with the construction. They resembled a bundle of toothpicks in a paper bag and offered no protection in an accident."

In any case, the Weymann body became somewhat of a fad. Carrosserie Weymann started building in Paris about 1923. By 1926 more than 12,000 Weymann-type bodies were built in France alone. The Weymann American Body Co. was founded in Indianapolis in conjunction with Stutz. In Britain, Weymann Motor Bodies (1925) Ltd. was located in Addlestone, Surrey, having evolved from what had originally been a branch of the Paris firm. The pictures here show the products of that firm. When the fad faded, the UK firm became part of MetropolitanCammell-Weymann Ltd. building trolleys and buses until 1965. There were about seventy-five other licencees under the Weymann patents in England including H. J. Mulliner, Gurney Nutting, Freestone & Webb and Van den Plas. The small Weymann patent plate can still be found on many of the surviving bodies of this construction.
