Seeing any old car driving in the snow brings back memories of 20-30 years ago when them cars were everyday drivers.

This looked like a good day, I hope the parents were ok!
Glad you got it out to enjoy - they use SO MUCH salt/de-icer here I can't venture out with that...... A lot of folks seem to think you HAVE to have front wheel drive to be out in the snow, but we learned to drive in snow on cars like this, and we did alright. Guess the weight helped to an extent......
Yeah I made sure to fill up so there was some weight on the back end. And I was also thinking about how back in the early 70s, this would have been just another day, most people drove big RWD cars.
My parents were doing just fine, thanks for asking Matt

Was freakin' awesome digging in snow..
Still have the car too....
Where in the old days I did have 4wheel pickups at times
never had an all wheel drive daily car till this past year....

How about some pic of that car?
Looking forward to having some more fun today in the old Imperial. Will be putting around 200 miles on it, heading out to Wyatts to drop off some parts and bench race. Apparently it looks like I'll be able to see the GT before it ships out. Although I'm really eager to see his progress on the Bro-ham, he had just begun replacing metal the last time I saw it.

Can't get enough pics of the Imperial...
Thanks Mike haha if you like seeing pics of it now, we will both be excited this year when I attempt to get it back to B5. Will have my hands full as I do my best to beat the quarters into a respectable shape and weld some repair patches into the roof.
I'll get some pictures of the Imperial today hanging out with Wyatt's collection.

Always a pleasure Paul! Thanks for letting me bomb around a bit in the Imperial! I need a driver again! Hopefully something will be driving by the time the snow melts and its cruising weather. The Monacucamonga is close. I just cant focus until the GT is safe and sound at it's new home and my wagon and donor shell is here at the Dodgemahal!
