Vintage Car Preservation

Impact of Uncontrolled Humidity

Like all ‘Metal’ equipment, expensive vintage cars begin to rust and corrode due to moisture present in the air. Moisture accelerates the rate of corrosion leading to fast deterioration and depletion of assets

Consequences of High Humidity

● Corrosion leading to deterioration of spare parts and components peeling

● Cracks and rust formation on the car exterior

● Diminished value and reduced lifespan of the vehicles

Additional Effects

High humidity can also lead to mold growth inside the car, damage to upholstery, and electrical issues due to moisture infiltration.

Causes of Uncontrolled Humidity

The primary cause is exposure to humid air, which significantly increases the likelihood of corrosion and related damage.

Recommendation

To prevent these issues, relative humidity in car storage areas should be maintained at 45% RH and a temperature of 24°C (75°F).
