One of these SS Fords is on permanent display at the Heinz History Center in
Pittsburgh

WOULDN'T YOU LOVE TO HAVE THIS?
Here are a few shots of a 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan built for and owned by
Allegheny Ludlum Steel.
It 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
road worthy 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 quite.
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.
People were told that the dies were ruined by stamping the stainless car
parts,
making these the last of these cars ever produced.
