a '69 chevelle, and another with a '66 Chevy, both people washed and waxed those cars all the time. They also drove them all winter..... A lot of, for lack of the best term, Latin American, people do a lot of cleaning on their cars, fuss over every inch of the car's appearance. They did another story on the news last night, and again the old cars were in the story, they were all shiny and clean.... Keep it waxed, and even if the paint is chipped, or imperfect, and you can keep the rust away.... Those guys had kept those old cars up to the late 90's when they retired and moved away..... There are a lot of really cool secrets to the current way of life in Cuba, and to the keeping up of those cars we are not going to know looking in from the outside as we do now.... California has lots of good condition old cars, and they run around all the time, and California is pretty close to the ocean, and the cars have almost no rust.... Not like in snow areas where they salt the roads.... As for Chinese parts... A lot of people may not remember the news stories of years ago, as american parts manufacturers closed up, the machinery to make all that stuff was sold off at really good prices to companies wiling to start up and make the same stuff in China, and India, and a few others..... Auto-Zone may just be the Walmart version of auto parts stores..... I have trouble trusting them after seeing the number of electrical parts me and brother have had with their stuff..... I went back to OEM pretty quick, brother liked the fact that stuff was guaranteed forever, even though he had to replace it each year.... .
