No one is happy to have your prized possession sit in the garage all the Winter months. Best to drive it all year while keeping a smile on your face all year around.

I keep my C2's out of rain and snow. The salt is so corrosive. On the '67, The frame and bird cages have light rust and I want to preserve them. The '66 is more like a show car even though it isn't numbers match. I don't want to have to detail every bit of it.

Cripes - you dang well drove what you had back in the day if you had to get to work...didn't much matter what it was or what the weather was doing.

I can still remember waking up in Pittsburgh and knowing it had snowed the night before because of the "rup...rup....rup" sound of snow tires and chained-up cars going past the bedroom window.
