Default Re: Do you drive your A in the snow or stormy weather?

It doesn't snow often here , Maybe every 10 years or more . I drove our 31 standard coupe in the snow of 1977 . I had knobby Allstate mud grips on the back and they didn't use salt on the roads here back then . I had no problems driving the A in the snow . People with modern cars had lots of problems . They were asking people to stay off the roads if possible unless you drove a four wheel drive . The 4x4s and me in the model A was about the only ones that had no problems . The ditches had lots of modern cars that had slid off the road and could go no farther .

We got caught in a storm in 06 while driving the roaster with no side curtains . To make it worse it was at night and we had about 50 miled to go . We got soaked but made it home OK .
