    I found this in the latest "Hemming's Motor News." Definitely desirable! This was the only one in private hands, and has been donated to a museum. Scan0035.jpg

    A lot of people may ask why they built the car out of stainless steel. As was explained to me. thanks to the stainless steel construction of the vehicle, flux dispersal is generated at an optimum level from the Flux Capacitor, providing the entire vehicle and its passengers a smooth passage through the space-time continuum during temporal displacement.

  3. Allegheny Ludlum and Ford cooperated on several stainless bodied cars over the years. stainlesssteelfords_2000-700x514.jpg

  4. Tru' dat! The date line seems to be missing from the article but I'm pretty sure the date the car was donated to the museum was July 18, 2027.

    A few years ago the T-Bird was displayed in the A.A.C.A. Museum. I wasn't impressed with the body lines. I'm sure it's much harder to form stainless than regular steel.

    From what I read, the Stainless bodies were produced at the total end of the body production as the metal did destroy the molds.
