The Ford Barn - View Single Post - not running outside car/ winter protection

When I was young going to college on California, I was able to fly stand-by from Travis AFB to Hickam AFB, Hawaii (home) over holidays & breaks. I had a 52 Ford 2 door wagon. I would park the car, drain the cooling system, go on my trip.
When I returned, I would drive the car to the gas station, add water and go back to school.
I had no money for antifreeze & really didn't know what it was. I just knew I didn't want the engine to freeze. Dumb kid
