That car was very prone to rusting. The sealing of the door bottoms etc. was sub par. So, yes, it is the salt, but other cars fare much better.

In a climate like that, an Al bodied car is the way to go.

It still sucks to work on cars in rust belt areas. I have a buddy that moved from OH and his car was practically new. 1 year on it in OH, doing anything on it was so much harder busting loose hardware than the CA cars I am used to.
