my dad had to stop washing his 88 camry wagon after 10 years or so because he would lose large chunks of body...but the engine ran for over 250,000 miles with no rebuild so I had no gripes. Sold that thing after over 15 years of use and no major problems.

Eh, do you want someone to post pictures of all Japanese cars from the late 70s early 80s? You could see those cars rusting as they drove out of the dealership.

My vote is for 80s to early-90s Toyota pickups. Someone needs to post the animated pic of the Toyota on a lift....

 Chevy Vega. Apparently one of the reasons was because of the way they were transported (sideways) in leaky train cars.
Chuck Norris, Mr. T, and Vin Diesel one time teamed up to defeat the Z06. After it was all over, Norris and Diesel went home in shame while the Z06 did a 4 minute burnout on Mr. T's corpse. --SeabirdI don't think so, there's no one at McLaren who can weld that badly.

True. Some owners cover it up with sideskirts  My car has no rust issues, but it's been a California car all it's life. Somehow my bro's doesn't have issues either even though it was a NY car.

The Stanza/Altimas and Maximas (well, the third gens at least, don't know about the earlier ones) of that era actually hold up much better rust-wise than the Camrys and Accords from around the same time. I've personally very rarely (if ever) seen a rust-afflicted version of any of those cars.

We had a 91 Isuzu Trooper that we used for parts, and it was the rustiest vehicle I have ever seen in my life. Before we sent it off to the scrap yard, I kicked all the rust off the body and had a serious pile of rust to sweep up afterwards. Toyota trucks 92 and older are also very rusty.

I like to think my Vanagon could rust with the best of them, at least in the vicinity of the seam welds.I think the '73-86 GM Pickup and *any* of the old Japanese compact trucks might be up near the top of the heap. Road salt is the thing I miss least-of-all about the Midwest... well, OK, the unrelenting flatness was pretty bad too.

When did they first start putting rust protection on vehicles? My dad said that in the 50s a new car would start having rust around the windows in just 12 months........

Are you talking about rusting from underneath? I don't think it is fair to call a vehicle prone to rust just because the paint is allowed to deteriorate due to neglect, allowing the elements to get to the now unprotected metal below.That being said- it seemed like a lot of GM cars of the 80s had poor paint on the hood, trunk and top.
