Default Re: Old Car towing pictures

Blew the rear in the sedan delivery (racecar).....had no way to get it home so parked it at the track and went home. Borrowed tow hubs from a friend......got it all set to get home......heard some funny banging noises as we were getting on the interstate so I said let me ride in the racecar to listen for the noise...... Just got up to speed and went a little further and the left front wheel came off the sedan delivery while I'm in it! This was not an uncommon happening back in those days as I recall......front fender got wrecked as the tire exited......could not find the tire......had no other one to put on other than a slick.....7" Casler probably.....got it all home and discovered the slick was ruined as the sidewall hit the upper a-arm and was all cut up......So that weekend we blew a rear, lost a tire, wrecked a fender and ruined a slick......Not good on our budget........and this same car suffered a freeze cracked block later in it's life.......and that was the end of the line for me and that car.......
