In the late 70s Porsche started dipping all their cars in a
galvanizing solution while still a bare metal shell. Over the next ten
years, all other manufacturers started doing the same thing, though
some only dip the bottom foot or so. It's the wheel wells and rocker
panels that take the brunt of the salt and sand, as it provides so
many places for it to accumulate, where it sits, and stays damp, year
round. But some makers just put plastic shields in the wheel wells.

A Porsche 911 metal shell used to sit out in front of the factory. May
still be there. They gave annual reports on it's condition. Good
marketing.
