What cars looked like in Michigan....

What cars looked like in Michigan after 5 years back in the "good old days."

None of the manufacturers showed much interest in rust resistance (if they rusted away, there was a better market for new cars). Then the Japanese showed up and (once they figured out the rust issues) made cars that ran forever. We all gained from that lesson.

I will note that my sister had an early Honda Accord, a car that rusted if you breathed heavily near it. She gave it to my brother out west and he gave it to a friend who had to tie the doors shut--but it kept running.

Studebaker and Chrysler were the known rusters back in the day. Cars back then were made out of real metal. You could fix the rust if you wanted to.
