You can keep your snow! The recent storm where I live at 1800 ft elevation we don’t get any. But we got rain4.6 inches and very strong. We had a water fall on a back inbankment that left 2” of mud on about 300 sq ft of driveway. Going to get a pressure washer tomorrow along with 100 ft of straw wattle. Seeing your vehicles reminds me of my senior year of high school 1962 when myself and 3 classmates decided to go to the snow in our mountains with no chains. We snuck by the highway patrol and slipped and slided up the mountain to one friends cabin. Well when we got there it started to snow. We opened up the radiator petcock to drain the plain water, we didn’t know anything about antifreeze spending all our lives in San Diego. I had never driven in snow. We had to wait for 2 days before they plowed the roads and when we went down to the road and opened the hood we found my 50 Chevy 6 had a cracked block and cracked head it froze before all the water got out, we didn’t think to run the motor until all the water was out. We missed 2 days of school before my friends dad came to get us along with a tow bar to tow us home with his 53 ford with a 331 cu inch Hemi motor in it. But we were able to get it started with a jump, so his dad jumped into it and drove it home about 25 miles. I was able to drive it for 2 months with Barsleak in the radiator but then it finally blew a head gasket, so it was time for another motor. No more snow for me!!!

You are right it was a Chrysler. 1951 they built the first generation 276 cu inch hemi and following years the 331, 354, and 392. The second generation was a 426 that was banned from nascar until Chrysler made production cars with that motor. And they went crazy on the drag strip. My friend whose dad had the hemi powered 53 ford, built a 51 dodge with a331 hemi when we were in highschool. Then he had a 1951 ford woody wagon with the 331. He later built a32 ford coupe with a 671 GMC blown 392 hemi. And his last streetrod he built was a 53 Plymouth 2 door wagon with a red ram 276 cu inch hemi. He was a mopar or no car guy. I’m a all Chevy guy, but my wife’s rod is a 37 ford -5window coupe with a ford 351 Cleveland motor putting out around 400 hp. My rod is a 56 Chevy truck with a 350 Chevy motor. I’m Almost 79 and still like driving hotrods.
