"Rare stainless steel Ford and Lincoln cars being shined up for sale

The vehicles are not new; Ford and a company known today as Allegheny Technologies worked together in past collaborations to promote the metal. The 1936 Ford Deluxe Sedan, 1960 Ford Thunderbird and 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible were all manufactured with the Pittsburgh-based steel company’s product on their existing assembly lines. Six Model As, two Thunderbirds and three Continentals were built."

I’ve only heard of these cars once when I was younger, my grandfather was working at ATI when the Continentals and Thunderbirds were built.

I’ve seen the 36 before, I also saw in person a mid 50s baby bird back in the late 60s. Nice

I heard the stainless Thunderbird would be blinding to oncoming traffic due to its hood on sunny days haha

My father-in-law retired from that plant & had the luck to drive them moving them around where they were stored.

When did a '36 become a Model A?

When did a '36 become a Model A?

I’m guessing it’s a misprint, as there’s were 2(?) 1931s built before the 36’s.
