    How about this?

    Subject: 1936 Stainless Steel Ford
    This is the 1936 Ford Coupe 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
    roadworthy
    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 quiet. 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:

    ^^^ do a search for that stainless 36, there is about 5 posts on that with photos. one of 'em has some i took at the Crawford Auto museum here in cleveland. Did you notice that on that Youtube description it says 36 was the last year for mechanical brakes? Cool video though!

    There's always a victim in comedy.
