Its a major issue with ALL cars from the late 60s -early 70s


Basically at that time, the only major source of chromium outside of the USSR was located in the country of Rhodesia. Rhodesia had a massive civil war and as a result their production of chromium stopped.

No chromium means no stainless steel and that means cars just rust away.
