I saw a late 50s Mallard for sale and the paint was peeling. Under it seemed like the skin was rusting. Did Mallard use something other than aluminum on the skin?  |

I don't know on "Mallards" but there are several that used galvanized metal for siding. They are the rusty ones...

Yes they are made of steel sheet metal. John Palmer completely replaced all the skin on his Mallard with aluminum.
