Ford used lead on body seams as late as 1954 that I know of.

Wow. I come across a lot of lead on my car, but nowhere near 150lbs.

Even with all that lead, I still found faults and flaws in the Ghia coachwork but all in hidden areas. With the cost of the car when new at $18,500, it had to be visually flawless!

By far the worst area of lead on my car was a repair that had been done at some point on the passenger side rear fender. Here is the front and back of the piece that was cut out. It’s about a 5in x 10in section that was all lead. The thing that was bad about this old repair was that it included the bracket for the mud guard. Needless to say, that broke loose who knows how long ago. The last picture shows the new sheet metal welded in place with the bracket securely in place.
