A-Bodies in the snow?
As mentioned, cheap FWD beaters are good winter cars. My all time favorites were the old body style (91-95) Caravans, Voyagers, and Town & Country. This body style seems to be very plentiful in salvage yards here, and parts are dirt cheap. The vans themselves can often be picked up for around $500. Take the back seats out, and it's like having a truck with enclosed heated bed. Hauled a LOT of stuff in mine. And they do good in the snow. Better still, although harder to find and more costly, would be an AWD version of these. Had one, and it got around better than my AWD Durango.
