Winter Storage Questions

[AMGTesTDriverNJ]

0.36ers,

I am leasing a large garage for my collection and had a question about winter storage of cars that previously came from states with much warmer climates. I assume they have never been exposed to the low temperatures they are likely to experience here on the east coast, and would like to know if there is anything extra or different I should do in preparing them for storage. Thanks in advance for any advice or tips any of you have for me and others here on the board facing similar circumstances.

Double-check the antifreeze protection. Cars from really warm states may have abnormally low percentages of antifreeze mix. Otherwise, just the usual stuff... connect a battery tender of some sort, air up the tyres, use fuel stabilizer if storage will be longer than a few months, yadda yadda...
