there was no rust inhibitors, zinc primer etc in those days and you still get moisture in barns

People don't find anything in barns, they know its there all along. Before the internet it was known as clearing out the old barn and selling grandads very average car he didn't care about.

Whittie obviously has photographic evidence here and not just linking random images off the internet called barnfind. So i don't know why you are arguing.
