charlespetty Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 From The Lincoln V-12 Designs for 1937 catalogue: The Lincoln body is soundly and beautifully built. Windshield stanchions, of heat-treated aluminum alloy casting, have a tensile strength of 30,000 lbs. per sq. in. The roof construction of the Lincoln-built body types is metal. Each body uses 60 sq. ft. of sheet aluminum, 14 gauge; 321 feet (in the Lincoln 7-sedan) of form-cut lumber; 59 quarts of the best automobile body paint science can produce; approximately 2100 wood screws; and, all told, 161 lbs. of aluminum castings.

edinmass Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Quoting the above numbers was popular with Packard, Pierce, and Lincoln from 1930-1938. You see it often in the factory sales literature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
