    Does it actually have to "start" and run every day for it to be a daily driver? I've had plenty like that! [​IMG]

    Since the 'modern' '60 Chevy Brookwood's been down, I drive this everyday. No wipers, no fenders, no radio, no nothing.
    My '54 Chevy was my main driver until it went into extended bodywork hibernation.
    I've driven nothing but old cars as daily transportation since '77. When old cars break they're easy to fix.

    Not a hotrod like some of you guys got, but I drive it everyday, rain or shine, no heater and I don't bother with the radio, the motor sounds better anyway. Somewhat rowdy 302, 2k stall, 4.11 rear. Been a good car, it's just wore out... wasted frontend, leaking trans, windows won't roll up without drama. I friggin love the thing. Not uncommon here in the desert, I even saw one the same color and similar wheels. I want to grow a mullet, but my boss will fire me and my girl will leave me...

    My '34 is my (second) car/daily driver. Gets a little cold here in Western PA in the winter, but being retired allows me to pick and choose my trips. Tomorrow is calling for 2-4 inches of snow so maybe I'll leave it in the garage.

    My 48 Plymouth is my daily driver. Still running the flathead so make sure to stay in the right hand lane on the highways here in the Dallas area.
