Plastic is forever, right?
The old days the saying was, on a real quite night you can hear a Chevy rust

they said the same thing about every car from the 60's and 70's. and most of it was true


plastic in an automotive interior lasts about 5-6 years. in the engine bay, about 5 years, on the exterior of the car, 5-10 years.

My old 57 ford didn't do so well, but I still wish I had it..
