Old Reliable
Jeff Deringer

We took advantage of the market and sold our house after 23 years, which has created alot of challenges! I still store my cars in a building at our old place, but it's not heated. I went up there a couple of weeks ago to check and winterize the cars. They used to live in my heated shop, but alas, no more. The 29 Lincoln needed anti-freeze, so I went through the process of draining what I figured was an appropriate amount (those things hold a LOT of water!), and filled it with new anti-freeze. I was worried about being able to get it started. It has been parked in there since May without any attention. I turned the battery on, pumped it a couple of times, choked it and turned it over. I mean maybe 3 to 4 revolutions and the big engine roared to life! Never missed a beat. It's not much to look at, but there's a reason that's my favorite car of the bunch!
