I read somewhere that Ford called it rustless steel in there advertising because they got their shells etc. from different suppliers and one had a copyright or patent on "stainless
steel" so they didn't call it "stainless steel" true????

I would like to see an aluminum bodied car and maybe some lightweight framing of some kind. We all know that the speedsters perform better because of their light weight.
