1936 Stainless Steel Ford

This is the 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan built for and owned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel. This is one of only four in existence and is the only one currently in
running and road worthy condition. The car is in exceptional condition, with the interior and even the frame looking great. All four cars had over 200,000 miles on them before they were removed from service.

The cars were built for Allegheny Steel as promotional and marketing projects. The top salesmen each year were given the honor of being able to drive them For one year. The V8 engine (max 85 hp) ran like a sewing machine and was surprisingly smooth and quiet.

FYI, the car was insured (we were told) for the trip to Louisville via covered trailer for 1.5 million dollars.

We were also told the dies were ruined by stamping the stainless steel car parts, making these the last of this type Ford ever produced.

Geese crossing the road!

As one lady says: ” She says it has restored her faith in the human race after all” for stopping for the geese.

My son-in-law?

My daughter sent me a photo of her soon-to-be-husband. She asked if I approved of him. Clint was in the United States Marines for 10 years!

Where did my spaghetti go?

Four weeks ago I found and saved a very small kitten, as if I needed another cat. We named her Angel. The first day, we fed it with an eye dropper. She loves my 3 dogs, and lady is a 70 pound dog that plays with the Angel!

Tonight while eating spaghetti, Angel climbed up my pants leg and got on the table and started eating my spaghetti. Lisa said I should not let her do that, but heck she looked so cute and I have never seen a kitten eat spaghetti!

I love animals! Ten years ago when my daughter was 17, she said I liked the dogs better than her. I looked at Carrie and in a very serious voice said: The dogs behave much better than you, they come when I call them, they are always happy to see me and they NEVER keep asking for money!

Sleeping dog

Yes, this is the way she sleeps 20% of the time during the day.

One happy cat!

Miss Kitty laying on the deck and she could care less about the four dogs!
