To add to Terry's list, the following were typical choices of owners' who preferred automobiles:
Cadillac DeVille, Odlsmobile 98, Buick Electra 225, Mercury Monterey, Mercury Park Lane, Lincoln Continental. In addition, it was also the era when a Ford Country Squire or a Chevrolet Kingswood Estate with the largest engine woul have also been among the contenders.
The original owners of my Overlander were friends of my family, and I know they didn't care for trucks and always towed the Overlander with a car, and those tow-cars included:
1957 Mercury Monterey (A new Mercury Breezeway Sedan was on order, but the trailer arrived several weeks before the car) -- this was the towcar for their previous early 1950s Airstream 24'.
1964 Mercury Park Lane Breezeway Sedan
1969 Mercury Marauder
1975 Oldsmobile 98 Luxury Sedan
Other than the '57 Mercury, I know that each of the cars had a 390 cubic inch motor or larger with factory trailer tow equipment.
When the 1975 Oldsmobile was due for replacement in 1980, they decided to retire from traveling and sell the Overlander -- I later, unknowlingly, acquired it from the third official owner in 1995.
