I see that you live in Georgia where I guess the weather is quite warm? What kills old cars in Britain is the mixture of sand and salt that's spread on the roads in winter. Causes enormous problems with rust on the underneath of the car, particularly old cars which didn't have the coatings that modern ones do to protect against it.
