Welcome, the car sounds great post some pics if you can, everyone here loves pics. If you do plan on keeping it a long while you are right to keep it out of the winters. I garage mine all the time but I don't put it in storage so to speak. As bad as last winter was I was able to get it out on average every three weeks or so. Of course Cincinnati winters are a joke compared to yours. You are right about one more thing, these cars are head turners.
