Aluminum catching on in Detroit

l   The auto sleuths at Autoblog.com tip that the next version of the Chevrolet Silverado could include aluminum body parts (Silverado pics).

l   The 2016.5 Silverado model is expected to be unveiled later this year.

l   The development follows the bold bet Ford made this year with a move to aluminum with the F-150.

l   Demand for the new F-150 has been solid amid stellar reviews, although the fuel economy impact of trimming 700 pounds from the new F-150 was muted a bit when gas prices fell sharply last fall.

l   Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (NYSE:FCAU) has been toying with a plan to use aluminum with the next-gen Jeep Wrangler.

l   Initiatives by General Motors (NYSE:GM) or Fiat Chrysler to use aluminum could benefit Alcoa (NYSE:AA), Kaiser Aluminum (NASDAQ:KALU), and Constellium (NYSE:CSTM).
