[VAC] Vintage Tow Rigs
Several bits of information:
We tow with a 1963 Suburban Carryall. It works great, is practically
bullet proof and carrys all the additional neccessities in the back. We
put a crate 350 in it when the original got tired. It works great, but
Michael says next engine he's going to more horsepower (never can have
too much power!) Michael also fabricated disk brakes for the front and
rear. It went good, stopped not so good. Always make sure you have the
ability to stop! These kind of late model changes are wise from a
safety standpoint.
The Dymaxion is on display at the National Automobile Museum in Reno.
www.automuseum.org It's so cool looking. We saw a program on it at
last years annual presentation. It included computer simulations and
research on the accident that stopped development of the car. It was
just fascinating, but someone has too much spare time to do that kind of
project.
