  1. Any area subjected to stress will have had the paint and other coatings either cracked, or torn, to expose bare metal. and this will corrode fast, not only because it is exposed but also because the stress of deforming it has changed the material structure. Thus this will corrode faster as well, as it forms an anode compared to the rest of the bare metal, and thus corrodes. The water tank is still in good condition because, like almost all water tanks then, it was made from copper, and probably still has the enamelling inside intact, and the outside paint is still intact mostly. Last things to disappear, aside from ceramic parts, will be the wiring, with copper protected by tar paper, and also a lead sheath as well.

  2.  @ReapersKid07  True, but that is exposed, and once the steel that is acting as sacrificial anode is gone, it will also slowly corrode away.
