Great photos. I don't ever remember seeing one of these hauling a car on the road when I was a kid. I would have blown a fuse if I did.

Me too! I used to "blow a fuse" on less than that back in the early-1970s whenever I saw a race car being flat-towed or on a regular trailer usually on their way home from Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ on Sundays.

There's a fix that I posted with links to modify your browser. It will allow you to see all the old Photobucket pictures on multiple forums. If you use Google Chrome or Mozilla as your browser, get the fix for Photobucket and see all the old pictures. Link to Yenko thread below.

Can't tell me this wouldn't look just sweet as a tow vehicle for a 36' goose neck hauler in a matching paint theme. Truck is simply spectacular in my opinion! On today's docket in Scottsdale.

Great pics all. Especially the Corvair towing the GTO. Priceless.
