Title: When do you store your car away for the Winter?
Post by: elagache on November 03, 2018, 03:39:49 PM

Dear mid-60s Buick owners all over the world,

This is the sort of question only someone from a place like California would be curious about.  In Coastal California, the weather is mild enough that classics can get out even in Winter.  However for many of you, there reaches a point when a classic car must be kept away from the elements.  I'm guessing that for folks in Canada, this could be as early as September.  So tell me, when you do have to put your classic ladies to bed for a long Winter's hibernation?

A curious mind would like to know!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Early November here Edouard, although I leave one out because some years we still have nice weather at Thanksgiving so that?s a good day to drive a car.

Late November sometimes into December. They love the cold weather.

    Here in NYC i take out my Buick's until December or until the city starts spreading rock salt, once that salt is on the road you don't see any vintage vehicles  on the road until the Spring rains wash it all off.     Tony

I live in Florida.

Every once in a while, I have to put the top up and turn the heater on... (http://www.wootmonkey.com/upload/2017/08/02/20170802055506-98343c99.gif)
