I wonder, seeing Ford own Mazda, if we'll start seeing these in the falcons?

Henry Ford made car panels out of Hemp back in the 1920s, but do to the bad press the plant has, it never took off.

There's a photo of Henry Ford wielding a sledge hammer on the boot lid of a 1930's Ford that was made of Corn Starch, to show how strong it was. Apparently the blow didn't even dent it.

Hey, wonder if it will end up in the Territory as a Survival Device?
Imagine, you're on your dream holiday - trekkin the Canning Stock Route when all of a sudden *WHACK*. You nail a Joey, right between the eyes and the Radiators cactus! What do we do now? I know, let's pull this EPIRB pin and wait for help to arrive. Day 1, no one comes Day 2, still no one and the water runs out - drinking wiper fluid now, mixed with Urine! Day 3, STILL no one and food runs out. Let's have a Dash Burger and a side of Console Fries! Be a Bugger in 20 years time when these cars are at the Wreckers. Young fellas are scouring the yards looking for bits for their old Territory only to find them all eaten by ants
