I've seen that a lot in my area (Central NY) and it seems limited to white colored cars more than any other color. I've seen tons of Chevy Luminas from the mid '90s with paint peeling off the horizontal surfaces. I remember talking to people a few years back when I started noticing the problem and they had a bunch of theories ranging from some component in the paint was breaking down, to something in the painting process (in the spray booth) was causing it, to GM trying to save money but "cheapening up" the whole painting process. Someone also said that GM changed the way they painted vehicles back then and the first few years saw many problems that they were trying to work out. Another theory was the different metals used in the body panels were conflicting over time with the paint and as a result the paint was separating from the panel.
