Someone sent me an email that had a pic of a '36 Ford sedan, a '58 T-bird, and some other Ford car that the entire body was made of stainless steel. They were sure sharp, but they said that it destroyed Ford's dies, cause of how hard the metal was to form and a few years ago at the Supernats in TN, some guy had a bed box made from stainless steel. It sure was purty!

Back in the 70's I saw an all stainless steel Lincoln on display - sponsered by either Maytag or Whirlpool, I forget which.
