Where do these cars rust? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Gee, the 70s? I clearly remember Generous Motors products that dropped parts on the road in less than 4 years, and from the 50s that lost headlights to corrosion in less than 2.

The new coating systems on most cars allow them to issue guarantees against corrosion up to 7 years. How good can it get? And we are worried about chips corroding in 4 years?

The neighbour has a Model A with steel fenders that show very little corrosion, surface rust only. You do not, however, want to hit anything with it...
