: I would like to transport our 1931 coupe to distant locations : for senic drives. I don't like the idea of fighting heavy traffic : in the old car, so what about towing it behind my pick-up? : Is this a good idea, how fast can I drive with the "A" intow : and how far is safe?I hate to buy a trailer that will be stored : most of the time.I thought about renting one from time to : time.Please give me some ideas as we are newto the : hobby. Thanks folks. In the past 35 years I have towed a Model A thousands of miles....even cross country..using a draw-bar...I really don't recommend it...it is a real pain...and can be dangerous..I have broken a frame...I suspect that it had cracks and the stress just let go...and I even had a drawbar (VW type) fold up on me in a tight corner...removing the drag link does allow it to turn easier but sometimes the wheels lock in the wrong direction in a slow tight turn...anyhow it is a pain.. |
