I was wondering about those tow bars on the servi-cars and dispatch tows. (#4592) I'm sure there are some still out there, you just don't see them anywhere.
My dad worked at a Pontiac/Buick Dealer for his entire career. I remember when I was a pup, in the early 50's, the dealership had a servi-car with a tow bar attached. There used to be a fella who was the only employee who was allowed to use the contraption. The shop manager was afraid that if an inexperienced worker somehow picked up a customers car with the three wheeler, it might come back to the shop with the servi-car needing more repair than the customers vehicle. My Dad used to always yell at me when I tried crawling around on the motorcycle while stored in the back of the shop waiting on a service call. I used to dream that someday I'd get to ride on it... never happened.
I bought my own Harley after I turned 16, several years later.
I finally got my first Indian about 3 yrs later after returning from VietNam in Jan.of 1970. My 46' chief changed my life forever. So far its been a pretty good ride. C2K

I hate to judge women's weight, but I think in #4592 the weight capacity might have been exceeded. But hey, I wouldn't complain!Bob Rice #6738
