This is a very rare opportunity to purchase some brand-new original-style Pullman Standard/ACF “double-roll” stainless steel fluting for your P-S or ACF fluted lightweight passenger car. How many of us have only dreamed of how great these cars must have looked when new, with their perfect fluting - without the countless dings, dents, and patches that are so present in these cars today, 70 years after delivery. A stainless steel fluted car with dentless fluting is a show-stopper, and is something that has to be seen to be believed. For roughly the cost of a good Imron paint job, you too can have your car looking like the day it rolled out of the Pullman-Standard or ACF factory. Car owners can take advantage of lower pricing available, as we are placing an add-on order to an existing run for this type of fluting, thereby greatly reducing the cost of materials and the cost for the vendor to tool up for such a project. We will be using existing roll-forming dies at no additional charge. Participants will have until roughly August 1st, 2021 to commit to their order. Deposit terms are yet to be determined at this time, but likely 10% to 50% will be required up front. Delivery is currently expected in December of 2021. Shipping costs are also to be determined, but the fluting will be placed in wood crates and shipped by a special truck that is capable of handling an 85’ long load. Costs will be based on how many car owners choose to participate, but current estimates will be roughly $18,000.00 to do a “full fluted car” and roughly $10,000.00 to do a “half-fluted” C&O-style car. Two car owners are already on board for this exciting opportunity. Why don’t you join us and celebrate how great your passenger car can look with brand-new, perfect, dentless stainless steel fluting.
