While on our way to see the Punchbowl Cemetery in Honolulu, my wife and I encountered this fine example of not enough corrosion protection. Hawaii is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean (hence the geographical desription as an island), so there is fine salt dust in the air on occasion and on the wet side of the island, a lot of rain. This Camaro actually looked pretty good. The plastic panels don't rust, so even if the frame collapsed, the car was still recognizable. Most cars of its age are long gone as the local climate probably made them look very much like Swiss cheese. At least the owner found good use for this one. It wasn't on blocks unfortunately. Maybe they should have offered the car as a premium to the biggest donor.
