Wow. That is like a giant hotwheel, in a good way. I've never seen a picture of that. Thanks for sharing.
I did see a Delorean (Back to the Future) yesterday in Fountain Valley, CA, driving around.

I talked with a guy who worked in Philadelphia at the Budd company and he said that they produced a couple of stainless bodied 1956 T-Birds. I wonder where those cars are living now.

'Friend of mine just sent me the above pics along with the article attached to them. Below is that article:
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 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 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. More information of the history on these automobiles can be found at Allegheny Ludlum's website http://www.alleghenyludlum.com/pages/companyinfo/stainlesscars.asp
