I though my 53 Victoria was all finished. Boy was I wrong, we had 15 degree weather so I though I would take her for drive, been sitting garage so its nice and warm. Started her up backed her out, she ran great for about 2 miles then the speedometer started to make a noise, the alternator belt started to slip and squeal the and battery was discharging. Drove about 20 miles, got home in the garage and checked the radiator, it had kicked out about 1/2 gallon of antifreeze the radiator cap needed to be replaced. If you want know how your car is doing, drive it in cold weather it will bring out a lot of problems. JOHN
