The Ford Barn

Whilst consuming Edamame last evening (soybean pods, lightly cooked and salted-sort of like a boiled peanut), I opined on Henry's Soy Bean Based body panels. My guests were enthralled, disgusted, amused, etc. This led to discussions of recyling plastic soda bottles into car seat fabrics, outdoor benches, deck lumber, etc.

We've all seen the picture of Henry taking a sledge to the Soy based trunk.

Word is that one of them was on the Farm at Richmond Hill, Georgia in Henry's time.

What became of these panels/cars? I know they wouldn't be as valuable as a Stainless Tudor, but there must be some value if they still exist.

Were they recycled for food during WWII, did they dissolve, did Henry's sledge do them in??? Are they in a museum? Did Sorensen tire of the whole charade and take an axe to them?
