Discusses automobile body corrosion problems caused by complex shapes and configurations as evidenced by photographs presented of cars taken at random. Describes some corrosion problems experienced with chromium trim on cars, cooling system and exhaust system. Discusses trend of consumers to be more conscious of quality in products. Discusses measures taken by auto manufacturers to control corrosion. Air pollution and de-icing salt exposure problems are explained as two of a variety of exposures causing corrosion on autos. Describes in detail corrosion measures taken by two car manufacturers: Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen. Also outlines a commercial undercoating being applied to new cars by a Toronto, Canada, company to protect cars from de-icing salts. 8.9.2, 7.4.1, 4.2.1, 4.3.6, 5.3.2
