1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: ‘67 Drag car?

Last post by pbf777 - September 17, 2024, 03:07:12 PM

I cannot imagine anyone in possession of such a car would be so reckless in the loading and unloading.

    I think we've lost track of "how it was back then", and that for most back then, the idea of having one's own dedicated car trailer was not so common and quite the luxury; and particularly not all of the enclosed trailers that we've become used to that it seems today so prevalent.
 
    As an example of even corporate level investment in transportation equipment in period, here's a photo of Carrol Shelby Co.'s own open, single axle trailers with a couple of Daytonas going for a ride, towed by the Ford pickups.

    B.T.W., nice loading/positioning job on the second one in line!

.....I am interested to know how it navigated up and down those steep ramps.

You put the weight of the cammer on those ramps and they automatically go flat on the ground......

That makes sense.  I cannot imagine anyone in possession of such a car would be so reckless in the loading and unloading but there are some notable exceptions just one YouTube search away.
