Of course you could get an Car Trailer and carry the Olds on it. Your DP can no doubt handle the load.
Back in 1986, cars didn't have "recreational towing" in the owner's manual and Motorhome Mag wasn't publishing annual towing guides. If it were mine, I'd tow it on a Dolly. Pretty heavy (but very nice!) car, so be sure the Dolly has the weight capacity AND is wide enough. Some dollies are not wide enough for certain vehicles. Get a dolly with brakes.
An outfit called REMCO offers lube pumps designed to make some automatic transmissions/transaxles towable four down when they otherwise were not. I personally don't like that idea, but others have been very successful.
A Baseplate, Tow Bar, Lube Pump and Supplemental Brakes will cost you WAY more than a Dolly. And you may be able to score a good used Dolly.
