Not all of us live in Southern California where the temps don't get that low as far as driving an old car go or you just don't drive the old car when it is cold.
It's about the same as driving a V8 with an air gap manifold or the heat cross over passages blocked off and headers rather than manifolds with a heat riser. It is going to be a bit cranky driving until you get it warmed up to operating temp most of the time and more so when it gets colder. In some cases in some conditions the carb can ice up. For most it is a case of "well, I have to let it warm up a bit before I drive off down the street so it will run right".
