A car on or in a trailer, name of town/city and State


Recommended Posts

Post a picture of a car on or in a trailer, and the name of the town or city and State the picture was taken in. It should be pretty easy to get all 50 States. How many small towns have cars been picked up in, or delivered to?  1947 Hudson truck, Monreo Washington.

July 24, 1952, outside of Cannon Falls, Minnesota: My father's 1949 Pontiac convertible hitched to a rented trailer with a 1920 Model T Ford and horse-drawn cutter purchased from the original owner.

Today my father is 92 years old, the Model T currently resides in Mankato, MInnesota,  the Pontiac was sold in 1955 when my father bought my grandfather's 1951 Cadillac, and the cutter was sold in 1952 shortly after my father acquired it.

My 1918 Pierce in my trailer for the return trip from St George UT, along with a pair of front fenders for a 1934 Pierce and a 1953 Buick nailhead on a rolling display stand and a cast iron Dynaflow.  The parts were going to two different Bay Area friends and had been hauled from MI by another friend.

When I was a kid our tow rig was also a Lincoln Continental.  It had a plaque on the dash that said "Caution:  Do not lower windows at speeds in excess of 120 mph"!

Did you tie off or do anything with the steering for the backwards tow?

Bringing our 1929 Chandler home in 2000 with our overloaded 1999 Ford Explorer. Made it safely home from Nebraska where this photo was taken to Southern California. A month later we got the notice that our Firestone tires were being recalled. You might remember they had a tendency to "explode". Glad we made it home safely.

My dad used my mom’s 67 Olds convertible to pick up this Dodge truck for my boss. I worked at the Hydsville Garage in Northern California in the early 80s when I was in high school. We restored the truck in the evenings after the garage was closed.

The Oldsmobile was a work horse

I can't remember what I shipped out on this load.

Brain from Poland, IL.

Loaded in Brockport, NY.

 

We used to load those cars bound for Sweden in the library parking lot. I live in the village literary district, across the street from the library.
