Is that a recent pic or one from back in the day? Back in the day it would not have been unusual to see that. Mine sat outside all the time especially when I was in college. Today that is considered almost sinful to see those Sting Rays being neglected.....wonder if they are for sale? No car covers on them either....

Every weekend I drove my 63 from Chambersburg, Pa. back to college in Williamsport, Pa. on the lovely salt covered Pa. roads.
It was also parked on a snow bank in Williamsport while I changed a rear wheel bearing in that snow bank. |

Must admit, my 64 was pretty squirrelly in the snow and on icy roads. But it was my one and only car at the time, so I had no choice. With all the nannies on the modern cars, I'm thinking it would be not too bad to drive them in a little snow. That 64 liked to swap which end was going forward on ice.

So, Bill, you've done rear wheel bearings on mid-years before. How does it compare to the "old days".

Two Midyears sitting in the snow. One says to the other "Snow is cold" to which the other replied "Deep too!". |

That is a great pic. And it has aged most gracefully.

Trips in the snow with the 63 were no different than with my 56 Chev.
I've driven the C4 over Donner Summit in the snow but it was only 3 in. deep. |
