I have seen and read books on GM, in there design studio they made full size models in clay.
At the Chicago auto show I remember some of the concept cars and prototype's that are roped off not to be touched, just to look at from a far, they are made of clay or something.
I had a book on the history of the Corvette, it show's that the 1953 Corvette body panels were made by useing a full size hand built all wood Corvette model called a " Buck " to mold and form the panels to there shape.
