THOUSANDS Of motorists are
Il bullied by their cars in winter. They
fear freeze-up. They put in anti-freeze
but it evaporates. They keep running
for more solution. They worry every
time they park their cars in the open or
in an unheated garage. And even then,
too often, they end with the very freeze
up they feared-with fat repair bill to
meet, and their car out of service.
Thousands of other motorists have
learned a better method. They get their
