Anyone heard of a factory stainless steel bodied sierra
I'm told there is one nearby, possibly soft top.

Low range offer an aluminum LWB body, but I have never seen or heard of a stainless.

Can you imagine the finger prints? omg The delorean was brushed stainless. Cool concept, but not practical. Scratch? rub it with steel wool

Ford built some S/S cars including a 60TBird The S/S is hard on die's so they often only do it at the end of production

Apparently Ford only built two stainless '60 square birds: Quote: On early models, built through the end of December 1959, there was a smooth belt molding; this was corrugated on cars built in 1960. The '60 model also used a number of stainless-steel components, and two were actually built entirely of stainless steel by one of Ford's suppliers, Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Corporation. Steve.
