New fifth wheel towing option
Came across this pic at a repair shop today. Figure it's going to take the towing world over.

I don't think that is home brew. Looks to good!

That's nutzz!! 
I don't think any modern car could handle that, but those tanks from back in the day were monsters and could do anything.

First off, they don't build Full Sized Cars any more. What they consider full sized now is as big as my 1962 Falcon. When that was new, it was a compact!

I guess some people need to watch the movie The Long Trailer with Ball and Arnese.

that's it... I have seen everything
I have a friend that had a 60-something Buick(back in the 60's) that had a tag axle added for weight hauling ability, but he is certifiable I promise.

I was talking to the owner of the shop about this picture. He said back in the day the prior owner sold this to a customer. The customer said he would buy the fifth wheel if the shop could figure out how to tow it with his car. Thus this invention was made and the guy bought it.

Pulling it and stopping it are two different things!
