40 Delux is so right. My 99 Olds looks like new except 2 years ago the brake lines rusted out and last year the rocker panels rusted through from the inside out.

Sure wish I had my camera a month ago. I saw an Olds wagon from the early 80's (I think) that had every exterior panel 90% gone from rust. You could see all the window and door latch mechanisms, and there were no exterior fenders left. There wasn't enough sheet metal to tell what year the car was, and I wasn't even sure it was an Olds..........maybe it was a Buick wagon.
