In the salty areas the places that get the rust first are the wheel wells,
then the rocker panels and then the floors. Rust on the bottom of the
doors is more often the result of water getting down around the windows and
staying in the bottom of the doors.
The rust shown here doesn't seem to be entirely consistent with salty
roads.

The last photo is the bill of sale, circa 1967 from Kentucky. Assuming it
stayed in Kentucky, the car is very rusty for a "southern" car with 25k
miles
on the odometer. Does anyone know if the car spent a lot of time up north
with salty winter roads? Or is it a case of being stored outside for 30+
years in tall, wet grass?
