Oh, and I was something like 40th fastest on the ice track just cruising through. One year I was the fastest one on summer tires with my '49 Oldsmobile :D I was more familiar with it's behaviour and gave my best shot.

Last weekend we participated in the 50th Mobilistien Talwiajot (something like classic winter rally). The start was only 5 km from where I live and it's always the first weekend of February which is statistically the coldest weekend of the year. Of course that's in average and now the...

Not really. Just make sure it's well maintained, the coolant has enough anti-freeze and the battery is fully charged. Usually I start form a warm garage, but in case that's not possible I have a 250 W heater that sticks to the oil pan with magnet. Also I added piece of cardboard in front of the...

Thanks! And for the Imperial I don't use. I only drive on dry roads and if I absolutely have to drive on salted roads, I immediately wash the car and underbody. For my GMC Typhoon however I do use, it was my year-around-daily for couple of years and I had the underbody coated with cavity rust...

2023 was not that active driving season due to a full engine rebuild. Started driving somewhere late July and had some minor issues to deal with (water pump, carburetor, oil pressure sender leaking etc.). But now everything seems to be in order and 2024 cruising season opened today in frisky...

Thanks, but I couldn't get it apart anyway, I didn't find any spring loaded tab in the slot, even if I saw the picture showing what should be there. But it seemed that the knob was slipping on the lock cylinder and I was able to drill a small hole through and insert a small piece of steel pin...

Does the same for me also with Chrome, but not with Edge.

See?

Looks somewhat familiar, even the headlamp doors have the same misalignment as mine. :D

Yes, I noticed. Trying to cut down the money spend, although this could be well spent money... Wonder how many pages and what's on them? And shipping cost to Finland...

Coupe DeVille.

Yes I have, they're ok. At least they looked intact and there were no loose parts. First thing to do with the AC is to check the system for leaks and recharge. But at the moment I'm quite happy with working heater already compared to earlier state.

Just trying to make the Auto-Temp work. And now it does except for the cooling. My previous messages are trying to explain that.

So that's the problem, Auto-Temp is not a manually controlled air conditioning.
