Have relatives in Minnesota who also buy winter beaters, usually imports, and use them up. Nice stuff stays in the garage, or in the driveway under a car cover.

No significant road salt here, but they now use some sort of chemical de-icer stuff that is not very nice. Attacks raw aluminum pretty good, and makes lugnuts grow rust all over them.

Years ago I would run across a lady in traffic who had a pretty decent looking red 56 Chevy that she drove all year around apparently. I saw it even when it was raining and snowing. Not crazy deep snow, but still snow.

Maybe 10-12 years ago or so I was sitting in the snow waiting for traffic to move one morning and saw a white Barracuda/Cuda way up a side street slowly crossing the road in a neighborhood. It had the 71 style billboard on it so assume it was a 71, but people put those decals on any 70-74 car. It was too far away to get an accurate assessment.
