I'm not aware of any stainless being used as structural material on a Newell. They have used stainless as siding on a few units. (for Roger Penske). It is problematic because of the additional weight added when used instead of aluminum. I'm not knowledgeable on BBird but would guess that their use of stainless would be in a similar application. I believe that some Prevost models have used stainless as structural frame material.
