Part of the problem was that the "Deep Draw" metal-stamping technology that provided cars of the late Fifties w/their heroic soaring fins, & swoopy shapes, was in its infancy, & not well understood. Neither was rustproofing as well developed as it is today. The new stampings often left sheet metal too thin. The 1957 Ford had intricate stampings around its headlight buckets, & they were rust prone.
