Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

The other day I turfed the '59 A55 out onto the driveway, just while I have a sort-out in the garage. My timing was perfect as it was just in time for several inches of snow to pile up on it overnight.

Curious to see how well it'd cope with a few sub-zero nights of outside parking, I scraped all the snow and ice off it, clambered aboard, and popped the key in the ignition. It started on first turn of the engine, purring away quietly to itself as if it was a 3 year old car.

Modern cars may be better at eating up big distances, but in every other respect I soooo much prefer my oldies

You should have not left it out overnight, you have now got a lot more rust, in the cracks and crevices. I saw plenty of that bad weather as a child, and walking on the canal frozen over. I got smart when I was 22 and moved to Aussie. been here 42 years.

I was driving home to Sydney last Oct. and it was snowing, not sleet. Two days before I was in 40 c. heat in Queensland. It was hard to believe.
