Suppressed technologies: Henry Ford's Hemp Plastic Car (1941)

Suppressed technologies: Henry Ford's Hemp Plastic Car (1941)

 Here's an interesting little clip.

Henry Ford once made a car out of organic (hemp) plastic that was
much lighter and stronger than the materials we use now.

It was biodegradable and made from renewable natural resources.

Ford proclaimed he would "grow automobiles from the soil."

I wonder whatever happened to that idea...
