Enamel and Steel- ByBy Mary Beth Klatt, The Chicago Tribune 5/18/02

  First off: Lustron home expert Tom Fetters doesn't live in a Lustron, he lives in a ranch house in Lombard, which he contends is the Lustron capital of the world.  

 "The sense of being interested in saving Lustron homes would be akin to the sense of saving the Tucker automobiles," Fetters says. "The two are contemporary, both used ex-war plants as factories and both failed in a fairly short time with associated congressional inquiries. However, there were only 80 or so Tucker automobiles, and 2,500 Lustrons, so the house was a greater success. 

The Last of the Lustrons:

Even houses of steel don’t last forever.
