Default Re:TV 1969 Buick Skylark Conv?

jniles, I think you made the point that I was trying to make. The older cars/trucks were built to do just about anything we wanted them to do. Then Japan came over and introduced us to "smaller is better" most folks jumped on it. Now-a-days if you want to pull something you have to buy with that in mind. Other wise you'll get something smaller. I'm not saying this is bad, it is just different than the way my dad or granddad thought. Now I can get a mini Cooper to run around town and save gas but if I want to haul something other than myself and maybe one other person I have to plan on getting something a little bigger.

You remember that tv show where Ricky and Lucy take off from NYC to LA pulling a 30' trailer with a Mercury? Those cars could do it!
