Aspects of car corrosion, as assessed during and immediately after a 1975-6 survey in England, show trends that are not too different from present day findings. The results here presented are based on the results of a survey of approximately 1200 vehicles, including input from fleet users, and from automobile manufacturers and publications of that era. The types of corrosion damage, location and cause are briefly reviewed, particularly with regard to user habits and opinions germane to the period. Aspects of exhaust (muffler) corrosion are also included; such damage is predominantly a function of dewpoint corrosion.
