1936 Stainless Steel Ford
This is the 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel. This is 1 of only 4 in existence and is the only one currently in running & in road worthy condition. The car is in exceptional condition, with the interior and even the frame looking great. All 4 cars each had over 200,000 miles on them before they
removed them from service. These cars were built for Allegheny as promotional and marketing projects. The top salesmen each year were given the honor of being able to drive them for one year. The v-8 engine (max 85 hp) ran like a sewing machine and was surprisingly smooth and quiet. The car was insured (we were told) for the trip to Louisville via covered trailer for 1.5 million dollars.
We were also told that the dies were ruined by stamping the stainless car parts, making these the last of these cars ever produced..
The DeLorean of it`s time.
Flight of the Navigator, anyone?
YEAH, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THAT MOVIE?
I watched it just recently.
SWEET CAR!
they also built some T-Birds and Continentals out of stainless steel. these cars had most of their pieces custom made out of stainless steel.
and a DeLorean is NOT a stainless steel car. it is a fiberglass car with a thin layer of stainless steel glued on the top of it.
That is a strangely ugly car.
