For me, the concerns I face are salt on the roads and what it will do to the Cougar's exposed metal from the time we get back until I can finally get it cleaned up, which would probably be sometime in May. A lot of rust can form in 6-8 weeks.
I had not considered that problem but I’ve actually experienced it with a brand new enclosed car hauler when I drove to Ohio in January to pick up a ‘31 Model A. The chassis of that car hauler was almost destroyed by salt from the Pa and Ma turnpikes!
