I do not follow this statement, at all.

You maybe mean American cars still hand-built in Detroit by the
poor who came in still drunk from the weekend, or already longing
for the weekend, where Wednesday cars were reserved for those with
connections (and/or bribe).  (Compare Arthur Hailey, "Wheels".)

Otherwise except for rust (unless it was avoided already fourty
and more years ago): no.
