 But as weight became a more i'm portant factor and automobile refine ment reached the point where a pound or two in either direction was of great importance, engineers gave some thought to the possibilities of aluminium and numerous and exhaus- tive experiments were made.

Today, it is the most desir- able body material. but due to the great cost, it is not used on any but high class cars.
 It is the use of aluminium. together with the many other snappy features that gives the new Jordan sport marine its smart appearance. Jordan designers selected aluminium because it weighs fifty pounds less than the steel body. because it does not rattle or rumble and because it takes q more velvety finish.
