This
is the 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum
Steel. 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 the body looking
great.
All 4 cars 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 quiet. The car was
insured (we were told) for the trip to Louisville via covered trailer
for 1.5 million dollars.
We were also told that the dies were ruined , making
these the only cars like this ever produced. [R.W. Forsythe]
