    My 57 usually only comes out in decent weather, regardless of season, but my OT beater 67 C/10 gets heavy use in inclement weather all year
     
  18. I wish I could..... The weather up here sucks in the winter.:(

    Yeah this has been done a few times but I still like looking at the pics. The first was taken by Fuelpump of Dirty Tace and me in March last year right after the car got on the road. The second picture is on the way home from a HAMB breakfast (70 mile round trip in 12-14 degree weather.) Lastly, I have a pic of my sedan in February of this year after the first thaw. I don't think I'll abuse the car this much after realizing how much more work I made for myself getting ready for Autorama. Plus I don't think the new six deuce setup will be as forgiving of grimy, roadsalt water being poured all over it like the big Caddy batwing was.

    I drive my cars year round but I live in Texas and that means summer like weather in winter. And my shop is out back some weeks I never leave my block. My 2 cents

    I drive my '30 Tudor most days. My wife has a modern car, but I've never owned anything later than a '70 Morris.

    The only thing holding me back from driving my old cars in the winter is my laziness...
    We keep 2 of the cars in the garage next door and I am too lazy to shovel a 120Ft driveway full of snow.

    My 30 sedan sees action regularly but when things get real bad I lean on my 59 Edsel, having a wife and 4 kids we do have a newer vehicle that she drives. Just got me thinking of last year I got caught in a snow storm on I-5 in a snow storm, was kind of cool. The only shitter on the Edsel is vacuum wipers, oh well, Joe
