Hello all:
I just met an elderly English gentleman who related an
interesting story. He did not see this firsthand, but
it was told to him by a chap who worked at the Vauxhall
factory in the late 1940's. He claimed that (some or
all?) completed car bodies were dipped in a saltwater
bath and stacked outside to dry prior to painting.
Evidently they wanted to make sure the corrosion process
was started off properly, and within 5 years most of
these cars were shot! Has anyone else ever heard this
tale? Quite the opposite of Triumph's built in rust
prevention system!
