In the 1960's General Motors was trying to get the freight cost down on Vegas to keep them a budget friendly car. At the time, a new Vega had a price tag around $2,000. Engineers from GM and Southern Pacific Railroad came up with the Vert-A-Pac. This allowed 30 cars to be shipped per boxcar instead of 18. Lowering freight costs by up to 40%. GM engineers also designed specific oil baffles to keep oil from spilling along with specially designed carburetors, batteries and added plastic spacers between the powertrain and the chassis to prevent damage. Pretty wild

American History the first EV ⚡️

Did you know that in 1884 that the first production-standard electric car capable of being reproduced and sold to the public was unveiled?

Did you know that in the early 1900s 1/3 of all vehicles on the road were electric? They started to quickly disappear around 1920 with the introduction of petrol and Henry Ford.

Ferdinand Porsche - founder of the eponymous sports car-produced an electric vehicle called 'P' in 1898, before creating the world's first hybrid offering, which was powered by both electricity and a combustion engine.

Mercedes-Benz also offered up an electric model called the Mercedes Mixte, in 1906. This car was adopted as a taxi in cities and was even developed into a race car in 1907.

We are nearly seeing the reincarnation of old tech. The first pic is a group of working EV trucks in the UK plugged in in 1917.

1936 Stainless Steel Ford
One of six built for the Ludlum Steel Company

Here's some history of the Ford Stainless Steel Cars -

In 1935, officials at Allegheny Ludlum Steel Division and the Ford Motor Company collaborated on an experiment by creating a stainless steel car for Ford to help promote the quality and use of their stainless steel.

The idea took shape in the form of a 1936 Deluxe Sedan. Six vehicles were produced.

Allegheny Ludlum and Ford would later collaborate on two more stainless models, a 1960 Thunderbird (2) and a 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible (3).

In total 11 cars were built.

The vehicles were in active service on the roads covering many miles and have been displayed throughout the United States and Europe.

The cars now either reside in private collections and/or on display in Auto Museums.
