Ships are big bits of iron floating in nice corrosive salt water. Ship owners put a big bit of zink on the outside of the hull, it corrodes away before the ship does, so why don't we have these for cars?

Auto bodies go through a zinc chromate primer bath early in the manufacturing process. In addition, many corrosion-prone areas are made from galvanized panels. This caused a number of recalls in the '70s, and '80s, as the paint used at the time adhered poorly to the zinc. |
