Winterize Your Classic Car

Filed under: Classic Cars — Admin @ 9:22 pm

Winter is the time where your classic and collectible car is retired for the season. A long slumber until springtime means it’s a great time to take some downtime and prep your vehicle.

Minor servicing like oil changes and transmission fluid flushing can be done during this off time without affecting your available seat time. Take advantage of the fact!

Stale gas can varnish the inside of fuel tanks causing expensive damage. Be sure to empty your fuel tank or add stabilizing additives to fight this.

Your tires can grow flat spots from sitting in one position too long. Prop your vehicle up on jacks to raise them off the ground. This will give the tires a break over the winter.

Winter is a great time to lower your classic car insurance as well. You’re not driving your vehicle, so fire and theft coverage should be sufficient.

Have a happy holiday season! We’ll see you on the road next year.
