But Hollis
During wintertime here in the Northeast, we had to remove the fender skirts and put on snow tires. And in Canada, they have to have snow tires on all four wheels.

Is that the re-do of the '55 fire chief car? She looks fantastic. I've got the FM '56...
... purple + grey. I love that car ;but, FM did not get the roofline right...my opinion. JADA does a '56 Bel Air in pale green + black with WWWs as a lowrider. JADA (and DM) did a much better job with the '56 roofline.
'56 is my favorite of the tri-5s. Sure wish there were more versions of it out there in 1:24.
...maybe someday.

This is Texas snow will be gone by the end of the day most of the time. All weather tires work well here.

Yes Billy.........
Its a old Fire Chief car. So far shaved the bumper guards off both cars and had bumpers chromed. Removed all the lettering. Removed the side glass. Not finished yet. Want to lower it and change the wheels. Engine change to if have one that will fit.
Plan a repaint on the '56.
