Damn, that must have been parked in a garage all it's life and only driven on completly dry days. I think it has less rust that the day it was delivered.

I know we all make jokes about rust and old Italian cars, but they were really really bad until the mid 80's. Back in the UK we have a thing called the MOT which is a very comprehensive safety inspection that cars have to go through every year once they are three years old. There was a big stink in the early 80's that Fiats and Lancias were failing their first MOT with serious serious rust around structural parts like rocker panels, suspension pick ups and strut tops. I literally don't remember seeing an unrestored Fiat/Lancia of that era with so little rust in 30 years.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

That would explain why I've never seen one before.
