This is the way to tow
Who needs a diesel dually when you have a Silver Streak post with a straight axle, fender well headers and cheater slicks or a more "modern" car a 1960 Bonneville convertible. I saw these cars Friday morning at a truck stop. Last weekend was the Ames Pontiac meet at Norwalk, Ohio or maybe they were going to Dragway 42 for the big 5 day meet. The travel trailers were older but nice also.

I wonder how the Silver Streak handled with the straight axle. I imagine the 60 Bonneville did pretty well. What a gorgeous car. That is a vintage Shasta trailer it is pulling. Cool. Thanks for posting.

Who needs a Dually when you have a 1.9 liter turbo diesel Peugeot for that matter?.

The 60 Bonneville is really neat. Add on trailer mirrors and all.
