Best Tow Car

Back in the day it wasn't unusual for guys to flat tow stocker's or trailer dragsters with old Hearses. Some painted them but most just left them black, if you were lucky you could find a hearse flower car that had a small pickup bed for your tools and stuff.

Neatest combo I saw was a 1950 Studebaker with a Pontiac OHC 6cyl, 4 speed and 1956 Olds rear flat towed by a Hearse flower car with the funeral home name still on it. The car ran in the six cylinder gas class, I think it was I/gas. Pretty neat rig built by a bunch of Airmen from the local Air Base.
