???? What he meant was that it was virtually an everlasting car. No rust, just weld up the odd split every now and then and keep on keeping on. Because it was/had been so ubiquitous, there was a large pool of spares to use up. The rural mindset was to not buy anything new if the old one could be fixed. He thought there were many vehicles in the area that were into seven figures on the odometer.

About 20 years ago, I was at a presentation by an Aussie working here. It
was
about his collection of old vehicles. One or two of the slides showed,
from the air,
the rural part of Australia he came from. I always remember the quote:
"'36
Chevvie is car of the year down there."
He was serious.
