Stainless Steel Car in 1935
In 1935, officials at Allegheny Ludlum Steel Division and the Ford Motor Company collaborated on an experiment
that would become a legacy and a tribute to one of the most dynamic metals ever developed.
Allegheny Ludlum, a pioneer producer of stainless steel, proposed the idea of creating a stainless steel car to Ford.
The idea took shape in the form of a 1936 Deluxe Sedan.
That car became the centerpiece of a campaign to expose the public to the new metal and its many uses.
This is the 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel.
The car was banned for common use because it reflected the light so powerfully that disturbed the traffic at night. Its glare was equally bad in the daytime.
This is 1 of only 4 in existence and is the only one currently in running & in road-worthy condition.
