Cars have not much rust from Cal. because of the lack of salt used on the
roads (because of minimal snow, not lack of rain.), as compared to areas
like here in NY where tons of salt are used at every snow opportunity even
if there are only a few snowstorms a year.

I've always only used classic 60's cars as my everyday cars (and my
collector cars), and the salt usage seems to be getting worse over the last
15 years or so.
