I have wonder about that myself too. Also, why wouldn't clear just eventually bubble and flake off when painted over rust. I don't criticize much but clear over patina looks kinda lame to me, it takes away the patina look.

My thought is, how are you preserving it when it took 50-60 years go get there. If you keep it indoors, maybe some wax or something like Gibbs on it, it's not going to "rust out".
