Artifact Overview

In 1936, Pittsburgh's Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation partnered with Ford Motor Company to build six automobiles with stainless steel bodies. The cars promoted the strength and corrosion resistance of Allegheny Ludlum's special high-chromium metal. Each car was driven some 200,000 miles before the fleet was retired in 1946 -- and the rust-free bodies still looked great.
