Slightly O.T. Were Have All The Cool Car Haulers Gone?

Here's my old '71 Dodge hauler

 

I don't have pic but you can think about this. A guy from NJ use to a haul his race car on a rig that was made from an olds Torono. It was a complet car that would haul 5 or six and had from the trunk back cut off and a trailer built on it. The ramps were only about 12 inches off the ground. Maybe some one from NJ might know about this.

 

cool thread everyone....

 

drove this one 31 miles home last sunday - 1965 GMC w/ 25ft. bed
bought it from "hitchhiker" (but not for $341 !!)

here's an idea ---> http://www.hotrodalley.com/ebenezer.htm

 

On ebay, not mine

 

Harry Sherry is the guy who did the Ford of Canada cars and hauler. His shop is still in Warsaw about 15 miles east of Peterborough. I grew up on a farm about a mile and a half south of the village. I still remember seeing the cars lined up across the front of his shop with the car hauler in the side yard. I was impressed. Some lads from Toronto came into the village one night to impress the farmers with their 340 Dart, and guess what. I had my COPO Chevelle, my one buddy had a nice 396 Chevelle and the other buddy had a nice 327 Beaumont. To finish it off, the Toronto boys got to see the new Ford of Canada race cars in person at Harry's shop. Sleepy little villages may not be as sleepy as they first appear. Those were the days.

 

if you go to Canepa.com and check their "transporters" inventory, you'll find an absolutely beautiful two-tiered car hauler (holds three vehicles) with a little lounge area and a Pete cab - custom built for a racer. It's for sale, but I'm not sure where on earth I'd park in when I wasn't using it - too tall for the hangar, and I know the wife doesn't want to see it peeking around from the back yard. Tried to post a pic, but it's copyrighted.
