Would you daily drive an early A?

I wouldn't drive it in Detroit in the winter. Why trash it out?

That said, daily driving older stuff depends on the area...not just because of snow and salt either.

I have an old car (Porsche 914) where I'm stationed right now in RI, with my Dart stil in CA. I don't drive the 914 daily even in the summer bacuse the roads suck and beat me to death, and traffic is horrible. I used my 63 (Ford) Galaxie as a daily driver in SoCal and in Phoenix with no problem for years. My Dart has a three on the tree, so not ideal for daily, but OK if needed. Lack of power brakes and steering in an A body doesn't bother me. Something bigger it would be an issue, but not the A body.
