If misery loves company...
A friend had purchased a 58 Edsel in the fall of 57, in the spring of
1961 he drove it to the local junkyard-it had rotted so badly the doors
would no longer stay closed.
Even back then the ads were touting galvanized panels for increased rust
resistance-but then as now there isnt a car built that wont rot away, at
least here in the Snow Belt. Nowadays a car may last 10-15 years before
the "ashes to ashes dust to dust" rule kicks in, vs the 2-5 year life
span of thirty + years ago.
