Musclecars in Winter snow, salt and slush

[ls6owner]

Here are a couple pics of our L78 convertible courtesy of the original owner. He owned it for one year, put almost 40K miles on it and used it daily to travel to work locations all across Manitoba, Canada. He says he didn't like it much in the winter! Note the snow tires, and trailer hitch. Also, fog lights and front tires. Apparently he traded it off in 1971 on a large Chrysler product-A Newport or something. He can't remember the Chrysler much and says he has no pics. I've tried to attach a pic of when Vonnie and I took the car to his home a few years ago and took him for a spin but the site won't do it-file must be too large. I'll see if I can sort that out later. That was a great day when he got to see and go for a ride in his old car after almost 50 years!

BTW Bill, nice sled!

Was your L78 convertible originally shadow gray with blue interior Oliver? I've never seen that combination before but have long wondered if there was one out there.

Yes, it was. It is kind of unique-Shadow grey, blue vinyl bench, M21, power windows, power top and no ZL2. At some point we will do a "light" restoration but we drive it and want to keep doing so won't be doing a full resto anytime soon.

Figured out how to resize the photos of the original owner of our convertible. He has a bad back and couldn't drive but very much enjoyed seeing his old car and going for a drive.

I remember driving my '69 Corvette from University of Wisconsin to Chicago in the snow and sliding off Hwy 90 in a blizzard. A wrecker hauled me out and I was back on my way.
I had a pretty passenger in the car with me and the heater was not working in the car. She found another ride back after the Holidays.

My Chevelle was a daily driver from new until 1980, as well, but no pics from in the wintertime.
