It really gets fun when you can spin the tires on the ice and snow, then hit dry pavement and snap an axle.

When I was 17 I used to find intersections with no traffic so I could do donuts.
After getting stuck in the snow bank and having to shovel myself out, that was enough fun for me.

In 1965 I worked at the GM Tech Center in a special summer intern program they had for kids in between college and grad school. One event they organized for us was a visit to the proving grounds in Milford, where they demonstrated tests they did in an effort to uncover vulnerabilities in new models. To test drive trains, they put one rear wheel in a long shallow trough of water, floor the accelerator, and watch what happened when the spinning tire finally hit the dry pavement at the end of the trough. Painful sight, smells, and sounds, but the demo Buick survived--very impressive! They claimed that was the most stressful thing you could do.

Here are a couple shots of my dad's phaeton in the snow. Don't take it out often come this time of year but couldn't resist the chance to play in the snow.

This picture was made in 1963 when I lived in Wisconsin and the 29 was my daily go to work driver. And I drove it this day as well as the day when it was -35 and my other car wouldn't start. Still have the car and we're both retired but still going.

Great photo, thanks for sharing! Did you have an aftermarket heater?

Fantastic photo and story. Thank you for sharing. I had the same almost exact experience with my 40 Ford Std coupe in 1963. I wish that I still had the '40.

The trans was woefully not up to the task. My Ford driving friends had taught me how to lock it in second by dropping shift lever into Low after flooring it into "passing gear". Then, you could roar around in 2nd gear, just like if you had a stick. By the time of my 5th trans rebuild, the car was out of warranty, so I had to cut out the kid stuff.

Right you are. My mistake - grandma's was a Classic 770. Still a nice car and with the 327ci/270hp, it'd go pretty good - even without trans tricks!

Stew; i like that picture. The A has a blanket on the rad to insulate it from the cold. The owner probably didn't has anti-freeze. And kept the rad from freezing before returning from shopping. Great photo
Pinesdune; the top on the car looks great. Jeff

It is February 26th and we had more new snow last night. See my morning's photo. Looks like I will get a lot of time working in my work shop this winter.
