70's vehicles

Daniel,

Wow, what a difference geography makes.  In southwest Idaho, it is not uncommon to see cars from the 1960s and 1970s still used as daily drivers!  "Vintage" pickups and trucks (1960s and newer) are even more common, and can regularly be seen  around here. 

The 1950s and older cars and pickups are usually restored, and come out mainly on weekends.

Yes, it is true. I live around the area where Daniel lives and I can also vouch that for daily drivers we usually don't see anything older than 90s cars. Usually driven by teens or older folks.  Once in a great while I spot an 80s car (like a Chrysler K-car). But those are rare.   Few weeks ago I saw a 70s Ford Torino wagon (complete with the wood appliques) driving on I 95 - that was a rare sight indeed!

I think a primary factor in determining the lifetime of vehicles is whether salt is used on the roads. I would hazard to say that winters in Alaska are as nasty as anyplace else in the US, but no salt on the roads means that cars last a long time. I am driving a 1995 Tahoe without a spot of rust or corrosion. My family in Wisconsin is constantly having to replace vehicles.

Best wishes, Dave

Salt I the air - as in close to an ocean, also causes this problem though it probably takes longer.
