Hmmm, very different from here where "all steel" means steel framework and panels, like a modern car - no wood. I sometimes wonder if we are bound by the same language or separated by it!

Held hostage by it.

Teens Dodge Brothers Touring bodies have a metal tag attached to the seat frame that said ALL STEEL BODY BY Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Company.

The only wood used on those car bodies was for tacking the upholstery to.

Is there ANY Model A that has NO wood in it? I have a late '31 coupe and pickup that both have wood in them. If you start saying it has this or that wood part but they don't count then it's possible that any given A could have NO wood in it.
