It reference to the car above that had it's root in Victorville, CA (High Desert of Calif). That is where I grew up and lived up there for 20+ years. I can tell you that it is bone dry up there, single digit humidity, and the summers are very hot 110-115. So that type of heat bakes paint and interiors. I had a car painted in the early 90s a solid non-metalic color and within 4 years it was faded so badly it needed a repaint. It turns colors much lighter and chalky.
