I don't know Pat but it seems like I've heard that about all the makes when they were exposed to snow and road salt. I guess that prior to the introduction of corrosion protection, the only think they had to combat it was undercoating which helped with the frame and underbody but didn't take care of water contaminated with salt getting thrown into the body seams. In that respect, deep south and southwest cars had a survival advantage.
