Don't forget the "plastic" Fords Henry had made from plastics made with Soy bean oil in keeping with his theory that if it was good for the farmers it was good for America. There should be a picture around on the net somewhere showing Henry Ford taking a full swing with an 8 lb sledge hammer at the deck lid on one to show the material was dent resistant. Seems I recall those being either 1939 or 1940 models. Wonder if any of them survived.
