Makes you wonder what is really there. I visited a massive collection of used cars parked on limestone in northern Maine. The local town was even called Limestone years ago. The type of earth eliminated any floor rust advancing.

Apparently the gentleman would pick up service mens cars left at the local air force base when they left them behind. Went for the final sale as well before the bulk where crushed. Cars went from 75.00 to about three hundred for the many ragtops.

Purchased a 1950 Buick and gave it to a friend. I am guessing he had several thousand cars but not many really old. Majority where cars in the fifties.

I try to absorb and retain any useful or abstact information when I run across it. For people storing cars outdoor above the temperate areas. Spreading some bags of lime on the ground before parking the car in the spot just might be beneficial.

Those cars in that collection showed no signs of any more rust than perhaps when they had arrived in the floors. In fact most floor pans, lower fenders and rocker panels where still really very solid. Never saw this before with cars sitting for over twenty years or more in our northern climate outdoors.
