Lookie what I saw today
I hate to see them driven in the salt, too, but I remember when I bought my '69 Coronet in 1988 from a kid who bought it from the original owner in Mississippi. The kid drove it all winter just before I bought it and I saw it covered with salt but it never rusted at all. I owned it several years and it never even started to rust anywhere, so sometimes a car like this can take one year's worth of salt with no adverse effects. I sure wouldn't want to try it, though.
