These three stainless Fords show the original finish. They are in the Crawford Auto-Aviation collection of the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland.
The car in the V-8 Foundation Museum is really cool, and I applaud Mr. Floyd for doing the restoration and being so VERY generous to "our" Smithsonian.
As cool as the Stainless car is, I'm always drooling over the '36 rolling chassis they have.

Everyone reading this should join up - I joined earlier this year.
Joshua Conrad is the absolute best executive director I have ever
met for a museum - he is also a friend.
