Best pair I ever saw was a Nash Metropolitan (show, not race, car) towed by a Nash Statesman (I think) - the large version of the car being towed. Only a couple of other large/small combinations like

Martin Tanner, back in the early 60's, used to tow his 700 pound home built D Sports Racer with a Morris Countryman wagon. Thats getting it right down there, but it was NOT vintage, at least at the t

OK, gotta chime in. We towed a Pace 16 footer at max (7000lbs) with a Dodge B1500 MiniRam van (318, 109" wheelbase) for 50,000 miles. Normally I cruised at 65 to 68 on more or less flat roads down he

Andres "Big Rig" hydraulic lifts would be too heavy for you. Many people here with "medium" sized enclosed trailers with two or more levels of cars use internal "ramps" lifted on electric winches. Yo

The other classic answer to no ground clearance is to have a set of wheels for the race car that wear tall, skinny tires like it probably did when it was new. That makes it easier to push the car aro

snip.... I had a 1996 Tahoe (two door, two wheel drive version) last year and really liked as a daily driver and vintage tower. I have a 20' enclosed all aluminium trailer, and this combo was great!
