The '73 Torino I had was not a cold weather car. The automatic choke would stick on at times. The immediate response to a stuck auto choke was a quick stab at the throttle. That was fine and good until the morning the choke did not release and another hit on the throttle caused the choke to come off and the throttle to stick wide open on a snow covered street. Turning the key off allowed me to coast into the yard of a convenience store. They had no gas line de-icer, but a bottle of rubbing alcohol poured over the linkage got things freed up so I could get to the nearest gas station where de-icer was available. The car was not over powered, but full throttle on a slippery surface gets your attention. I was almost glad when that car rusted out a year or so later.
