Stainless Steel 1936 Ford

Most have heard of the DeLorean stainless steel car, but did you know that in 1936 Henry Ford was convinced to build a stainless steel Ford?

Well, he did and it wasn't the only only one.

That's pretty sweet. Looks much better than a Delorean.

My fathers pride and joy is his 36 ford coupe street rod. I'll have to send him this link to check out.

Great find!

You just cannot beat the old fords; I have just sold on a 65 ford Anglia that I restored that was a joy to drive

Now that's a beauty to behold!

I never knew it existed! Great find!

I'm originally from the town where that picture was probably taken. Allegheny Ludlum or uncle Al as we called it is a specialty steel company and they mainly make stainless. Said town (Natrona, PA) is 2/3 steel mill and 1/3 town.

They have several more of those, I didn't look at the link but I think a later model Lincoln and something else. See them as a kid in the local parades and they are nice.

Very nice pictures, thank you! I have seen them in a parade and heard about them for years...but never got a really good look.

I have grown up in Natrona Heights area(just up the hill fron the pictures location)and heard a similar story from many different people over many years. Supposedly this Natrona, Pa Allegheny Ludlum plant was on hitlers list of places to exterminate due to the plants involvement with nuclear weapons. There is also a confirmed nuclear waste site within a 1/2 mile of the plant.

Any info?
