I worked at a gas station when I was in high school, and remember two things about the Vegas; having to put lots of oil in them, and how much they rusted. The rust was unreal, happened very fast with those cars.

If I remember correctly, the oil had to do with an early attempt by GM to mate an aluminum head with a cast iron block. It did not work very well...
