Technical Lets see Cars in Tow....gotta get em there somehow

After 65 years it was recently brought back to life... The Medley Coupe!

 

1989
Bringing home a sunburned, original paint Torpedo. Sold it at Pomona. Could've bought that '37 V8 flatbed for $1200. Unrestored original in very nice driving condition.

 

Knocked up a new trailer for the banger,got sick of hiring and borrowing

 

Friends headed to St. Thomas Dragway this past summer

 

Headed out to the local nostalgia drags:

My old T and my current merc.

 

From rags to riches.

 

Don't count,I don't have a pic!
My buddy Rosh is hardcore SBC fan an has one in his 23T,so ribs me alot!
About what he calls my "Fix Or Repair Daily"
My rod is still powered as I built it in 1959 with V8 Thunderbird "Y".
Two years ago,his SBC died on our way home from a show,an I keep a tow rope for these kind of things!
Towed him home with my "Y"Ford.
His phone dose take pic's, mine dose not ! He would not take any of our trip going home,LOL LOL

 

8/5/21; leaving my ranch headed to paint shop. Painter (Tom) is doing a really nice job body working and prepping for paint. Hope to be at 2022 SK-500 next May.

 

I bought this one yesterday

 

Saw these on Rt 66….or close to Rt 66 anyway!

I like looking at everybody's projects in these pics on this thread. Diamonds in the rough or showpiece pride and joy. They're all great shots.

 

My son towed his father’s project coupe 350kms each way ( 700kms total ), last year so he could have his bride to be, - driven 400 metres - into their wedding venue and then have a couple of photos taken in front of it……
The smokey flathead fordor was the bridesmaids car and was actually driven the whole distance……



and for those wondering what I look like, that’s me tying it back on the trailer……

 

The day it came home....

 

I have Very impure thoughts of that...
Damn... That is $weet!!

 

Towing with my 64 Lincoln back in the mid 70's.

 

Roughin it, getting ready to head to Rod Run weekend at the beach. Yes, she was a trailer queen this year but I did stay in the trailer for extra credit.

 

My avatar from a long time ago, when the guy I bought it from initially bought it.
Pretty much same condition as I bought it, many years later.

 

Damn, Billy, nice trailer!

3 projects

 

I needed something I could sleep in when the wife boots me out of my casa

 

I have never seen a trailer that the whole side opens up! Too Kool. Did you spec this trailer or was it off the lot? Again , nice rig!

Was a 3rd axle not an option?

 

It comes with that escape door and spread axles so you can walk out the side after driving in. It is called an Alcom Stealth Pinnacle. It was made in Montana, I bought it from a friend in Portland/Gresham area who is a dealer for them. And thanks!

 

No I bought it used. It handles fine I have over 30K trouble free miles on it. It's heavier than when I bought it as I added x-members and the 63" semi sleeper. Here's a couple of other loads
