[A/S] Re: Vintage towcars



Greetings Betty!

I developed front end problems with the Eldorado a short time after 
its first trip with the Minuet, and unfortunately didn't get any 
pictures of the duo while they were together.  I do have a picture 
from almost two years ago with the Eldorado towing the '64 
Overlander - - the combination is just as much fun, but I worry 
about being too close to the trailer tow weight limit for the 
Eldorado (6,000 pounds - - limited more by the final drive of 2.70 
than anything else).  There is something about the Airstream/Blue 
Cadillac combination that just seemed "right".  The pohot can bee 
seen at the link below:

The trailer towing mirrors are even the correct vintage for the car -
 - 1975 McKesh mirrors with new webbing and pads obtained from the 
manufacturer.  There are also two other photos of the combination in 
my album located at:
