I've got a set of NMW tow-tabs for my old Nova buried in a box out in the garage! I wish I had kept the tow-bar!!

Flat towing sure was fun, until the front wheel bearing froze while coming home from New York National one Sunday afternoon! I built my ramp-truck right after that!

Held off til the "Live from...." was done.
Really appreciate that from Ken, Jack, et al.
Good to see a separate thread .
Picked my stuff up in Hackensack.
Here's a Car Craft ad Jan. 70, shows River St, Hackensack.
Bottom black line, have to blow it up.






Still have a set of tabs.

I made my own back in the 70's. Put a lot of miles flat towing my 67 Chevelle wagon and my buddy's 65 full size Chevy. Sold them a few years ago for almost nothing. My 57 Chevy wagon still has the tow bar brackets on it.

Duane is correct here.....and the Chassis work shop there was run by Randy Dietzel and was associated with Bob Daurenheim if I recall right....

NMW had at least one robot welding station there and was running once when I was there talking to Randy.....I wondered who was back there because I did not see anyone....Randy filled me in. Never saw that before. making engine stands and transport legs.....and yes NMW was in Hackensack before Raritan. Not sure who owned it when it was in Raritan.....maybe Bob Daurenheim.....I knew his brother Al.....he worked for Van Iderstines.....

Now since Ken is not doing a live from report I think we are ok babbling about all this useless trivia......LOL

This is kind of crazy.....50 year old tow hubs would get such interest.....

These hubs require a 5 bolt 4 3/4 inch wheel. They will bolt onto 3 different sizes....5 bolt 4 1/2 inch, 5 bolt 4 3/4 inch, and 5 bolt 5 inch. Here is a picture...

I was Flat towing back from Hampton Raceway around 82 or so and got a flat on the front, I was on Sunrise Hy.and by the time I stopped, the Crager Super Trick was torn in half.
