Ford Shows First Of Plastic Autos
Dearborn, Michigan, August 14. Henry Ford unveiled a plastic automobile with a metal frame, motor and wheels during the 15th annual festival. Robert Boyer, Ford's chemist, described a lighter tougher car that could need years to mass produce, due to building a plastics industry from scratch. The model uses 32 plastic strips on a tubular steel frame, 3 16 inch panels absorbing heavy impacts, and a 60 horsepower V-8 engine. Production would require vast agricultural and chemical inputs and could free steel for defense, with weight projected around 1300 pounds once refined.
