Unless you take extreme measures to immediately grind out rust and and repaint as soon as bubbles start to appear, any car with a steel body will eventually rust out due to the road salt used in the winter." David, I am assuming you are talking about the upper Midwest. I live in Wichita, Kansas and lived most of the rest of my life in Springfield, Missouri. I have never had any rust problems on any car I have owned. I agree in Chicago, you cannot keep most cars from rusting. I had an uncle who had a little car dealership. He used to buy 5-6 cars at the auction in Springfield and drive them to Chicago where he could sell them for three times what he paid for them. Dealers in Chicago were always amazed to see a 10 year old Chevy Caprice with no rust on it. (My Uncle liked the Caprice and bought all of them that he could find in the 80's). Donald H.
