Thanks. You saved me the trouble of looking it up. That feature is going to be a hard sell in FL.
When I was a kid, I bought a $50 1957 Olds from FL. It had no heater. That was okay until winter arrived. Back then, $50 cars were rather common - and $10 car batteries.

In 57' my mom bought me my first car for $200 - a 49' Plymouth. It got me through my last two years at college before being drafted in 58'.
Have fun in the FIT in snow drive.

As far as I'm concerned, the Fit is very good in the snow. I don't always put snow tires on mine, but the tread on the regular tires is getting low, so I'll use the snow tires this season.

My folks once bought a brand new 1960 Studebaker for $1,999. One of the options included in that price was the $70 heater. Most cheaper cars had the heater optional until the mid-60s.

Jerry, How old are the snow tires? I had a set of tires on my old 2001 Mazda tribute and they all went flat at about the same; the tires were 6-7 years old (I wasn't driving it much after I retired). I had read an article right after that of a study on "DRY ROT" The rubber formulae are different on Many tires from different manufacturers. I remember reading that Goodyear and Micheline were the worst and dry rotted the quickest. Bridgestone and Firestone were the best.

You could get those old wheels sandblasted and powedercoated. Never rust again.

But would it cost less than $50 per wheel? I looked it up, and powder coating would cost $50 - $100 per wheel, plus the sandblasting.
