Momma's happy and thrilled and Milo keeps on collecting cars, trucks and motorcycles.

Trust me on this one Barry. Let the Mrs. find her very own Rolls in the driveway and she'll bring that Olds home for you and you might even get real meat Hot Dogs and extra cheese on your Mac & Cheese.

When she's not looking you can slap a trailer hitch on it too.
Wow Milo, you are my hero. What else can I say.

My shop is looking pretty bare now that I've sold off most of the toys .

I personally think that such a show of good will should allow me to put at least one more back into stock - I'm working the "but it's all there and it runs great so won't need a lick of work dear" routine at the moment .

If I got anywhere near her luxobarg with a trailer hitch it would take weeks for the bruises to heal. She does like the sport wheels on it though.

Neal - you keep breaking my heart when you post the pics of your trailer and car together. That combo is just so perfect and so 1970's - and so much how I remember seeing AS's heading down the road and wishing I could have one (or two).

I agree with the comments to buy big, they almost always came with the most options and are the most capable of pulling and handling the weight of a trailer.

Much to my wife's dismay mac and cheese and veggie wieners are still one of my top two food groups . It's tough to stick to a diet when those are the things I cook up for myself 3 or 4 days a week for lunch.

Ahhh....Yellow Food and Tube Steak's. Two of our favorite food's.

Just shows, you were raised by someone who really cares!!

late 60s or early 70s tow vehicle

Another option among the big blocks -- the 1971 through 1976 Cadillac Eldorado -- the convertibles can be even more fun:



or more conservatively dressed with the '64 Overlander:



It is something different to watch the reactions of bystanders when the front wheels loose traction rather than the rear when taking off on a slippery surface with either trailer in tow.
