Re: [VAL] towing caravel with mid-60's muscle car
My parents had a Caravel that I towed with my 1988 Lincoln Town Car. We also
towed the 21' Globetrotter with it and had no problems with it and got good
gas milage. A Buick Skylark with a 401 from the days of no smog equipment
should to it like a rocket. I know a lot of people on the list feel its better
to be safe than sorry and tow their A/S's with trucks but I think sometimes
that can be overkill. The Airstream is so well balanced and lightweight,
especially the older ones that a good sized car, including the early Buick Skylark
that was considered a mid size but is now larger that a fullsize should do
very well.
