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


Recommended Posts

Here are some I've owned, the Anglia was here in Hawaii, the others are in Tennessee and Alabama. Others have came home on roll-backs, an enclosed trailer, with a flat tow bar, or a 2 wheel trailer, but I may not have pics of all of them.  These days I or my wife won't bring them home unless we can drive them, lol.

Genuine barn find S Series Valiant RHD that three of us bought to flip from a farmer in Spalding in the Mid North of South Australia. Found out the distributor drive was broken when we got it home so we sold it not running!
 

Still got stupid money for it. Last photo is Max guiding off into my back driveway at Encounter Bay, South Australia. Smelt awful inside! 
 

If ‘‘twas a Buick would be a different story!

My first tow vehicle, an all original 1946 Chevy one ton pickup towing my 1921 Chevy 490, and later towing my '31 Chevy fire engine. I still have the 490.

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"!  

Forget the windows. There's nothing like the feeling you get when someone opens the back door at 60mph. Talk about a drag shoot! Those doors, hinges and body structure were built like a tank. After that episode there was no damage to the door, hinge, or body. The door closed just fine like nothing happened. I showed great restraint in not killing my back seat passenger though!

Since some of the 10 Canadian Provinces have shown up, here is my rare 1931 Chrysler CD8 Roadster (estimated as perhaps 1 of 6 assembled in Canada and only survivor) being unloaded in 2014 after being found in rough shape in Donkin, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, about as far East in Mainland North America as you can go. 10 years later, it is still a work in progress. Many thanks to my friend Jim S for going 300 miles to pick it up for/with me.

Should be an edit tab on your phone when viewing the picture. Then you can rotate the image, and press done.

I don't have them on my phone. They're on my 27" iMac desktop computer. Remember them? Thanks anyway....

1951 Chrysler Station Wagon - Hershey, PA - 1991

Screenshot 2024-07-23 at 10.10.40 AM.png

This is a 1951-52 Chrysler Imperial...or possibly a extremely rare Crown Imperial 8 passenger or limo 145" WB car.

But I think just a 131" WB Imperial sedan.

Chrysler did not make a 1951-52 Imperial station wagon.🙂

Around 1989-90, it was advertised as a 1951 Imperial station wagon.  We were not very familiar with these cars at the time.  Shortly after buying it, we realized that the VIN went with a 1951 Windsor wagon.  Apparently, someone had mounted the Windsor wagon body on an Imperial frame.

 

We were pretty sick upon realizing that we had made a huge mistake.

 

Live and learn.
