Just set a coal bucket (coals taken from the wood burner) under the oil pan for over nite. That will keep it warm enuf to start. Many of the older cars sat high enuf to allow for this.

Keep the front of the car pointed toward and as close to the house or other wind obstruction. This is good advice even for modern cars in extremely cold, windy or lake shore regions. Wind blowing off of a frozen lake directly into the grill of ANY car will suck the battery flat in about 8 hours.
