None of the manufacturers showed much interest in rust resistance (if they rusted away, there was a better market for new cars). Then the Japanese showed up and (once they figured out the rust issues) made cars that ran forever. We all gained from that lesson.
I will note that my sister had an early Honda Accord, a car that rusted if you breathed heavily near it. She gave it to my brother out west and he gave it to a friend who had to tie the doors shut--but it kept running.
