Not Just The Cars, But The Men [Edsel * Gerald * Abe]

Certain parts of the car wear out or corrode. Bearings among other moving parts obviously
wear out. But they can last a lot longer. Using nickel coated stainless steel
bearings [inconel(C)] for the alternator, fan, and all other parts that use bearings would be
a start.

Double coating? How about triple coating the certain areas of the auto that tend to corrode?

I know gas lines corrode and the bottom back edge of the door does, along with many parts exposed to the elements.

Obviously Chemical Engineering is necessary to manufacturing autos, but it can be used to
increase the standard at all levels that the current processes are not at.

If GM would put the best metals, alloys, plastics, etc. where needed, the automobiles they
made would be superior to the competition, have endurance and have incredible durability.

GM could become synonomous with the best and have the highest end automobiles, and be the
envy of the automobile world. And customers would be willing to pay the higher price for
these automobiles.

Not feasible? In its heyday the Model T used the best materials and was made to drive on the
awful roads of that era. And it isn't necessary to say how popular it was.

Lastly, and most importantly, as these parts were used for your cars and maybe auto production increased, more high paying American jobs would be created.
