Old Cars in Hawaii

[Jeff/Illinois]

Paul Shinn's latest video, where he is sending his '30 Coupe 'Gandalf' to a buyer in Hawaii, got me to thinking 'yes' they don't have very many old cars over there due to the 24 hour per day 365 day per year, salt moisture in the air exposure....

Makes me glad I live in the Midwest away from that nonsense, at least we can store the cars in the winter and wait out the salty roads

A friend from high school moved to Florida after we graduated and took his 'cherry '59 El Camino with him. I saw him five years later at the first class reunion and asked about his car.

He was pretty unhappy, the Florida heat and humidity and salt air (he lived not far from the Gulf) had ruined the car and he sold it to get rid of it it was rusting before his eyes he told me
