    If I understand correctly, Deloreans used a better alloy that was properly stainless.

      I cannot confirm nor deny this, but the fact remains that Deloreans still exist today. And I do not recall ever hearing any stories about rust. Which, given its infamy, one would think would have been part of the lore by now if it was a thing.

        They are from stainless panels glued to a glass fibre body. Sink it into the fead sea and watch it vanish… or wait 20 years and any ocean will do.
