In Australia, fastbacks (known as "slopers") were introduced in 1935, first designed by General Motors' [[Holden]] as one of the available bodies on [[Oldsmobile]], [[Chevrolet]], and [[Pontiac (automobile)|Pontiac]] chassis. The sloper design was added by Richards Body Builders in Australia to [[Dodge]] and [[Plymouth (automobile)|Plymouth]] models in 1937; it was subsequently adopted by Ford Australia in 1939 and 1940, as well as a sloper style made on Nash chassis.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.handpub.com.au/Sloper-Page.php |title=The Sloper Page |work=Hand Publishing |access-date= 24 December 2015 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160304032049/http://www.handpub.com.au/Sloper-Page.php |archive-date= 4 March 2016}}</ref> According to automotive historian [[G.
