Stainless steel...
Just thought I'd share this collage of pics of a 1936 Ford All Stainless Steel car. I'm tired tonight, so if you want more info, Google "1936 Ford All Stainless Steel". Have no idea what grade steel. When I told some friends about 316L and 904L (Rolex) steel grades, they think I'm nuts (that Rolex would go to that length to rip people off - ?!). For some of them, a good-running Armitron is "it", ugh! Others have some taste, wow, and actually like something other than quartz. Thank God for purists and watch nuts and WIS's...
Enjoy! =:^D
Fiberglass ....
Fiberglass ........
with stainless steel metal sheets covering, so it looks (almost) entirely like a stainless steel car.

I can confirm it is fiberglass and stainless steel
Why so many sources calling it brushed aluminum?
I've certainly been close to them (Renault motors in them and they show up at many local French car shows).
You're very welcome...
When I saw some of the message titles in this thread, I thought they were referring to the Ford (as far as fiberglass and aluminum), but now I see it's in reference to the DeLorean (which was made from steel and fiberglass parts). It became the infamous 'coke' car when DeLorean got in on a cocaine deal hoping to resurrect his car company from bankruptcy, and he got busted! Also, they were built in Ireland, cheap labor (now it's China or Korea, I suppose). DeLorean worked for Ford, I think, and was one of the Mustang's designers.
"Marty, we have to go back... back to the future!" HAGWE! =:^D
my understanding is that Ford made 1 of every model in stainless steel
this comes from my elderly petrol head mate so dont take it as gospel, but apparently the last of every model made by Ford is in stainless steel including the UK/EU models. the reason they do this is 1. to have one for their museum/collection and 2. stainless steel is a lot tougher than the rubbish steel they usually use and it basically knackers the tooling. it makes sure that the last model is indeed the last model.
it may be an urban myth, but looking at the first pics it could well be true.

You'll like this chromed car then
If it's not chromed, it was definitely all polished! Color is blue/purple from the above ceiling lighting.
Is this car a Ford GT?
This was at the Jacob Javits car show in Mar '05.

Don't think it's a Ford GT...
It's not a Ferrari because this car was in the American car section
So it's either a Ford, GM, or Chrysler.
The lady was talking and giving her pitch about the car.
Cheers,
