[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:
