Some of your already know that I'm helping a friend move his car collection
from here (near Seattle) to south of Denver.  We're planning to take one of
the cars using a tow bar.  

 

Tonight we put the tow bar on the front of a '55 Chevy and connected the tow
car in front of it and started to pull it.  The tow car needed to go left to
avoid my non-running not moveable '51 Chevy 4400 (see this is about old
Chevy trucks!).  As we pulled the '55 to the left, the front wheels turned
toward the right.  That can't be right!

 

The '55 has a motor, but it has not been a driver in more than 10 years.
Gene, my friend, has never driven the car, so we don't really have any idea
how well it worked when it was last driven.

 

Anyone have some tow bar experience and some suggestions what we need to
look for?  I'd sure appreciate some ideas...
