<VV> Uhaul car hauler

[Tom Berg]

 There's always Penske. In '93 I carried my '64 Monza from Indiana to California on a Penske trailer, an aluminum flatbed, the car facing forward. I think the engine was close to the trailer's two axles. Handled fine. Good lord, that was 24 years ago!

 I had the same experience a few years ago when I wanted to trailer my 66 convert from Connecticut to Maine so my grandson could use it for his senior prom.  Local UHaul refused to rent a trailer for towing a Corvair.  I ended up driving it up with my wife following in the daily driver.  Worked out fine.  The Corvair probably benefitted from the longer than normal drive.  But I never did get any reasonable answer as to why they wouldn't rent me the trailer.  Must be some story there, maybe with a lawsuit from someone who didn't use the equipment properly???

Frank and everyone,yes U-Haul trailers are great for Corvairs but around my area here in Florida if you mention Corvair they WILL NOT rent you a trailer period. There are 5 U-Haul dealers near me and everyone said the same thing. I did use one to haul my '60 sedan to the convention in Knoxville,I told them I was hauling a '62 Chevy II,they never blinked an eye. I put the car on frontwards and it towed perfectly. Ed in Florida
