New Trailer - for the Bug

I need one of these.

That is sweet. Wonder how hard it would be to mod one onto a 356 instead of a bug?

Very cool.

There was an article in Excellence magazine a few years back about a 356 that was pulling an Airstream behind it. But it was a more traditional tag hitch.

I have a 1/43 model of a 356 with the airstream teardrop style trailer.

I figure finding one of these is next to impossible, but I'm impressed. If you've ever seen me back up my trailer, this is really cool.

Just another reason to get an old bug.

I've been trying to find a still pic & more info on that for close to week.

That is cool as hell. I wonder why that didn't catch on? I think a 5th wheel type hitch on a tahoe or similar would be nice.

That is really cool! Anybody know what show that was?

Jays72T 07-31-2008 07:14 PM

That's cool.

Now why hasn't someone made a billion dollars off that? What a cool idea.

LeeH 07-31-2008 07:30 PM

Very cool. Seems like braking and turning would be an issue with the high center of gravity.

Via Wiki...

Quote:

Entitled "Car and Track", the show was carried by over 160 stations across the country and covered over 250 racing and auto events. In 1975 "Car and Track" ended its eight-year run on CBS. The show was resurrected on the cable network Speedvision (now the SPEED Channel) in 1996.

My parents have a boler and they have driven it coast to coast. I have borrowed it a few times but it is certainly small. They weigh about 900lbs so most cars can pull them and they are fairly common out there.

This isnt my parents trailer but it give you an idea.
