Re: [VAL] towing with your hair standing up.....

Some of you may remember some rantings from the past about people feeling 
they have to have the biggest and badest tow rigs.   If gas prices get up to five 
dollars a gallon they may suddely wonder if they need that 4 door 
Frieghtliner after all!
My first trailer wighed 4,000 lbs dry and I towed it with a 1962 Ford F-100 
with a smaller 6 cylinder.  I did have to creep up the long grades at about 25 
mph but it did not overheat and I just turned on the emergency flashers and 
sat back and relaxed.
My  25'  1952 A/S Cruiser  weighs only 2,400 Dry weight so I'll use it for 
long distance trips,  I'm thinking of towing it with a '52 or '53  nash 
Ambassador for good milage.  Or maybe a Jeep Comanche P/U  with the 180 hp straight 
six.

I haven't found a 1951 to 1952 Packard Patritian yet to tow the Spartan Royal 
Mansion with yet.

Exuse my Rambling!
