On 13 January 1942, Henry Ford patented a Soybean car (a plastic car), which is 30% lighter than a regular car.
Henry Ford came up with a unique tubular steel framework which he could bolt his plastic panels on. It is believed the plastic was made from Soybean, so that car was also called Soybean car.
The plastic Ford never made it into production as World War 2 started.
