I had a 66 Caddy Coupe DeVille with factory airbags . Wasn't the best tow vehicle with its rear coil suspension . That boat in the picture was way to big for the Caddy's 5000 lbs tow capacity .On the other hand my 64 Lincoln was more suitable for towing with its rear leaf spring suspension.
Back in the 60's people towed trailers way over weight what these passenger cars were made for. There was an ad showing a FWD Olds Toronado with one of the rear wheels removed , towing a travel trailer to show off its capability . No one in his right mind would tow a boat with a FWD with all wheels on today, hehe.
BTW , there is a nice old sporty 25 Bertram locally here that I see on and off busting waves like no other.Wonder who has this oldie if in fact it's still around at all .
