Detroit-- The first all-aluminum bodied car, a Chevrolet Corvette study vehicle is being shown for the first time by the builder, Reynolds Metals Company, at the annual meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers here (Feb 25-March 1). The experimental car proved that an aluminum body is about a 40 per cent lighter than steel while providing the same strength and saving about 400 pounds in the body alone.
