1936 FORD TUDOR: STAINLESS STEEL CAR





This is the 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel. This is one of only four in existence and is the only one currently in
running and road worthy condition. The car is in exceptional condition, with the interior and even the frame looking great. All four cars had over 200,000 miles on them before they were removed from service.

The cars were built for Allegheny Steel as promotional and marketing projects. The top salesmen each year were given the honor of being able to drive them For one year. The V8 engine (max 85 hp) ran like a sewing machine and was surprisingly smooth and quiet.

FYI, the car was insured for the trip to Louisville via covered trailer for 1.5 million dollars.

We were also told the dies were ruined by stamping the stainless steel car parts, making these the last of this type Ford ever produced.
