This is something I've been wanting to do for quite some time now; ever since I found the old tow bar hanging on the wall at Mom & Dad's house.

I put a hitch on the Grand Prix over the winter and finally got to try it out today -

That's how we used to roll, back in the day!

In spite of considering myself to be an "old school" mechanic, I couldn't find the bottle opener that I thought was in my tool box.

Fortunately, it's times like this when it pays to be "mechanically inclined"...

Those cars as so cool. Too bad that dont make cool full size cars any more. All watered down to the lowest common denominator in design any more.

Sorry Bob - just realized I didn't answer your question -

The modern pics are in front of my house; the vintage pics are at our house when we lived in Flint (just off Dort/Averill and north of Davison Rd (M21). 3117 Thom St is the actual address.

Hey - can you guys make sure Dick sees these?

(lol)

ALthough I haven't gotten my new specs I do have my "old man" magnifying glass. :lol: :lol: BTW Keith, Did you tell us you were in the May issue of Poplar Hot Rodding and I missed it or didn't you tell us about the pics?

You missed it. There should be a post here with scans: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17355 then I also linked it to the thread of "behind the scenes" pics.

You can also see it at popularhotrodding.com under "features".
