Default Great c1 migration

Any truth to the rumor that all of the c1's east of the mississippi are migrating to florida? It seems so to me.
Many will return north in the spring but will return to fla next year when the snow flies, many will stay south forever.:d

I am still here in NY with my two 61's, which are warm and snug as a bug in the garage.

My '61 is in use here in CA, but not during our recent storm activity. Florida has made it into my California '61, though, as I have several genuine, Frankie- The- Fink-sourced baubles to install on the vehicle!

From what research I could find, my 61 started life in KY, then FL and finally TN before I brought it home to MA. Someday it may return to KY or TN!

I'd have to install a Gator Grater on the front of the '61, like the guys with the Roo Bars down under! And get tougher tires to withstand all the armadillo hits........along with mosquito netting....

My '57 was originally purchased from a Florida dealership. The owner ordered it heater delete as he probably thought he would never need a heater. The car is now safely tucked away in Minnesota and does not plan to leave anytime soon.
Seriously, you Florida guys, including you, Frank, enjoy the balmy weather down there this winter.
