TOWING HITCH FOR 71 Cutlass Supreme

Does anyone know if a towing hitch can be installed on these olds? I am in Japan on deployment and will be home in about 4 days so I havent seen my car but I need to tow my bike from sc to ms and just wondering if anyone has had a hitch installed.

thanks for your service.
i have 2 or 3 hitches for the 70 to 72 cutlass. it requires that you drill 2 holes in the floor of the trunk and one in the bumper. i never liked them but had several parts cars over the years that had them. i don't think you can get them any more new but i could be wrong.

If I were you, instead of getting one of the old hitches that just bolt to the back of the car with 3 bars that are bolted together, I'd take it to a hitch place and have a weight distributing hitch custom welded together and installed.

Bolt-on hitches for these cars are no longer available. As you noted, most competent hitch dealers can weld one up.
