Check out this guy selling a 72 Duster.

I understand that a warm, dry climate can be good when talking about rust. My main question is why is everyone bragging about the old plates on the cars? I've seen it a ton lately. I can underatand, maybe, if it's still in California, but do people in Utah really care?
Indeed, a warm dry climate is great for cars. When you live in NC where it's warm and dry for 6 months, then cold rainy and snowey for another 6, you get results like the ones my dad's car saw. I myself don't understand the tag thing either. My Dad's car came with a NC tag on the front dated 1965, the year of the car. We kept it there cause we thought it was neat. But I still don't get into the tags that much.
