- 1925 ALCOA Aluminum Sedan - The Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) commissioned several "all-aluminum" cars in the early 1920s. After extensive road testing, each car was disassembled and thoroughly inspected to determine the metal's performance. The project was a clever mix of cutting-edge research and old-fashioned promotion. This sedan, built by Pierce-Arrow and about 85 percent aluminum in its composition, is the only survivor.
