Stainless Steel 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan

Built for and owned by Allegheny Ludium Steel. http://www.This is the 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel.  It was attending our open house and then was featured in a local parade with over 100 of our salaried, hourly and retired employees walking alongside.  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 quite. I thought this was a much better looking automobile than the Ford Thunderbird that visited us last year. FYI, the car was insured (we were told) for the trip to Louisville via covered trailer for 15 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. More information of the history on these automobiles can be found at Allegheny Ludlum's website http://www.alleghenyludlum.com/pages/companyinfo/stainlesscars.asp The white with blue trimmed

Coming from the Stainless Steel Industry, this car was very special. It reminds me of the joint advertising that was done in the 1950's with Edgcomb Steel Co, Autocar Trucks and Eastern Stainless producing a number of stainless-steel Autocar Tractors.
These examples of stainless steel cars are beautiful!
Thank you for sharing them with me.
