Jalopies for defense. Here are some of the parts stripped from junked automobiles in auto graveyards. These parts were removed from cars before they were sent to a scrap iron dealer, who will process them and ship them out to steel mills. Some of these parts will be resold, but the vast majority, whether sold or not, will eventually end up in the furnace of an open hearth steel mill. There it will be melted down and combined with virgin metals to provide the fine quality steel needed for defense production
