Got'a love those Canadian Winters. When I lived in California, West coast vintage cars were a premium. Very little rust.

I went to Los Angeles in 1997. I couldn't believe the number of pristine 1960's Mustangs still driving around.
Where I live, these were long gone, reduced to piles of rust.

A few years ago, I had a business trip to a small town outside of Carson City, NV. Good thing I didn't have pick up truck, a car trailer, and a wad of cash with me. Because there were all sorts of car goodies sitting in junk yards and car lots along old highway 50.
