5 Springtime Phenomena to Protect Your Classic Car From
Spring is officially here! We're sure that news brings a lot of excitement to those with classic cars that have been sitting in storage all winter long. But don't get too laid-back on storing that beauty. Spring brings to the roadways a lot of natural phenomena that can potentially cause damage to your ride. Farm Boy Garage is sharing with you 5 springtime phenomena to protect your classic car from.
High Winds and Tornados
Severe thunderstorms are no joke in the springtime because there is potential for damaging winds, tornadoes and flooding rainfall. High winds and tornadoes are by far the most extreme event in the spring. If your classic truck or muscle car is sitting outside in these types of conditions are likely to receive some level of damage.
Hard Rains and Hail
Depending on the condition of your classic car, the severe weather and hard rains could cause leaking issues with your car. This could lead to rust problems, mechanical malfunctions, and even mold issues to the interior of your vehicle. With the erratic storms that tend to blow through in the spring, you may also see some hail damage if you're unable to get your car stored in a garage or under shelter in time.
Flooding
Flooding is always a possibility in the spring. In fact, the Midwest is already seeing quite a bit of damage caused by flooding. During the spring warm up, rainfall and melting snow can very easily cause large amounts of runoff in a short period of time. While severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are the biggest threat in spring, significant flood events can and do occur due to rapid snow melt, ice jams or just from heavy rain events. If your classic car is within a flood zone, you may want to move it to higher ground to avoid potential flood damage.
Snow Storms
Just because it's spring, doesn't mean we're out of the clutches of pop up snow storms. In the early spring, snowstorms are still a potential extreme weather problem. In fact, in the past some of the biggest snowstorms for cities like Denver, Cheyenne, Wyoming, and even Chicago have occurred during the early spring. We've seen our fair share of snow in March here in Des Moines as well! Leaving your vehicle in the snow unsheltered can cause rust damage over time.
If your classic car gets damaged by any of these springtime phenomena or by any other unexpected mishaps, trust the experts at Farm Boy Garage to fully restore your gorgeous muscle car back to its original/super modified glory.
