The ZN 75 sports car, built by Lamborghini & Bertone for ILZRO, was delivered on June 26, to the display builder in Cincir^dti, Ohio. The use of zinc is quite extensive on the vehicle.

Novel uses include: 1-lb. sheet lead sandwiched between two layers of polyurethane foam as a floor underlay and leaded vinyl in the door panels, both for sound insulation; also, DS lead tubing for the fuel lines and lead impreg nated iron connecting rod bearings. As you know, LIA's financial participation is limited to a maximum of $4,000.00. You may also recall that the Zinc Institute has budgeted $80,000 for these display purposes.
