I wonder what it weighs? Of course back then they did not know you needed a diesel an duallies to pull it.

Seriously! When I was a kid, I used to see TTs being pulled by sedans and station wagons. I grew up in NY and pick-ups were the odd site. Occasionally I'd see a GMC panel truck with a mattress in the back and my parents would keep me away from those folks. They were the trailer trash. Nice family people towed with the Ford Squire and working folk with the Chevy wagon. Cousins in Medway, Mass. Had a 35 ft that they lived in. My greatest thrill is when they let me ride along when they towed it to a new "piece a Land to set it on" with their 1964 Chevy Impala station wagon.

The weight police would hate me but somewhere I have a picture of me towing my 27 ft Fleetwood with my 1987 Ford Crown Victoria. (I still have the Crown Vic). I only did it a couple of times on shorter trips but it did fine. I do admittedly live in one of the flattest states.

Some good stories. Back then cars were built tougher. More like half ton pickups. These days cars are all made of plastic.
