Ah, the polar vortex that hit the upper Midwest was so cold that even conventional cars with block heaters would have trouble starting. That's how cold it was.

The old Hudson Hornets, when temps got that cold they’d recommend adding a pint of kerosene to the crankcase to thin out the oil. Of course you had to remember to change the oil to a thicker viscosity as soon as the weather got warmer. These were the days before multi viscosity oils.
