VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 antifreeze and thermostats!

Nope, not a bit because I only fill the cooling system with water when I drive the car, so most of the time the car is in storage with no water in the cooling system. As far as I know (as second owner) the car never used anti-freeze since new.

Hey JYD, how many miles have you put on the 32 since you brought it out of storage?

That is a good question. Just guessing but I would say maybe 30 miles. Got it out of storage and ready to go and shortly thereafter winter set in so the car is now back in storage again until this coming summer. At any rate, before I put it in storage back around 1974 we drove the car fairly often with only water in the radiator and the temp. gauge never went above the "Normal" mark. As I remember, the original owner told me that he never used anti-freeze either.
