Detroit had the dubious privilege of hosting The Concours d'Lemons Michigan last week, and from the pictures, we can say that rust was well-represented. 

"Worst of Show" went to a 1989 Cadillac Allanté whose owner wished to remain anonymous out of fear from a group of Allanté owners who take matters very seriously.

”Um, NO, i’m with the ALLANTE GROUP” and huffs off.

One of the first cars I ever did competitive analysis on was a yellow Allante.  I thought was a fine car back in 1992....  I can't even remember why we had it....
