Re: Ancient History
My stepdad talked about putting big blankets on their engines and a pan of coals underneath. Also, they did not have anti-freeze that could take the cold temperature of the Dakotas (or they couldn't afford to buy it) - anyway, they ran diesel fuel for coolant in the cold part of winter.
Also, it was a running fight amongst the Chevy versus Ford owners - as to whose care would start in the morning. Seems the Fords had the edge on the old 6 cylinder stove bolts (for reasons that I don't know).
