Unless it is very cold out I would suggest running the engine for a minute and then driving at slower speeds for the first few minutes. I tend to drive slower while the oil gauge is pegged at 30 pounds. Kind of keep increasing speed while keeping the pressure around 25 pounds until warmed up oil wise.

I always warm up my cars from a cold start for about 5 minutes....even my newer vehicles. By the way, in the future you might want to post in the 1933-36 forum. Have fun and enjoy your car!
