If you listened to the interview closely there is a trivia question there. Was there ever a steel bodied corvette built? The answer is yes the wankle engine prototype is a steel body.

Thanks Tyler.Ive always heard the name Tom Falconner but never new the face.Would that be the same Falconner as the V-12 Falconner? And is the ZR-1 he has a wide body car?Another trivia question,what other material beside fiberglass and steel did the factory use to build a Corvette?............magnesium!
