Best finds are cars stored in barns with hay. The hay absorbs the moisture. Smokey Mt Frank In a message dated 7/13/2012 8:35:37 A.M.

It would have been interesting to see how it would have looked had the compartment not flooded. Then again "barn cars" turn up all the time, so I guess we can imagine the condition. The best rust free cars come from very dry areas... makes me wonder how modern cars will stand the test of time... with significantly more rubber and plastic restoration will be tricky.
