Don. WOW. What else need be said. Indeed, Ca cars do rust. I have often wondered when folks say a California car....no salt on the roads. But what about the air on the coast?
The wagon was definitely a coastal car from the LA area. The lady who owned it must have taken her kids to the beach a lot as it seemed like there was a lot sand iunder the back seat and under the carpet on the passenger side (which had lots of rust holes in the floor. I can understand the rusty front floors considering the condition of the cowl!
