I'm relocating my 1936 Cabriolet about 85 miles away. The car runs fine and I don't expect any problems, however a friend will be following me just in case. I will take several pieces of rope with me for towing if necessary. What is the best way to tow this car? I was thinking about making a yoke and tie it to the ends of the front axle, then attaching the tow rope to the yoke running it under the front bumper. Will this work without damaging the car? Thanks, Joe

Towing any old car is taking a chance. When moving any long distance, it is far better to rent a car hauling trailer from U-Haul . It isn't expensive, and protects a valuable car. Today's traffic and speeds can spell disaster in an instant.

Joe,if you have AAA towing their card is your best friend. If the 36 runs good you'll easily make the 85 miles.

I like long distance runs, a hundred miles or less, if it is on two lane roads. I can run my '47 at or above 70 mph in overdrive, but I don't, as that is no,place for old cars. When I got rear ended a couple of years ago, the guy said "i was so interested in your car, I forgot to stop!". No one was hurt, but it took $2,700 and six months before Il could drive it again. You wn't find me on the freeway!
