larsontiffany+FollowBloomington’s century-old snowplow is winter’s MVPNothing says Midwest winter like a neighbor firing up a vintage Ford Model A—transformed into a snowplow—to clear the block after a big storm. Ed Dathe, a master mechanic in Bloomington, has turned a barn-find Model A into a one-of-a-kind snow-busting machine, complete with a custom blade and a salt box.
