When a Trifive was just another daily driver

Nobody here had much interest in them, ssssssoooooooo many were crushed for scrap, how times have changed
Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of everything connected together.
But I have a towbar made specifically to connect to the front of the 56 Vette. Several years ago, I connected the Corvette to the Chevelle and had the little trailer connected to the Corvette and flat towed them with the Chevelle.
I guess what I should do is go connect the towbar to the Corvette and hook it to the Chevelle and take a picture for that 1000 word worth of proof!

This is my tow bar setup for flat towing the Corvette
Unbolt the bumperettes (4 bolts) from the front cross member.
Bolt the fabricated hitch in place where the bumperettes were bolted.
Connect the tow bar to the hitch and connect to the trailer hitch on the Chevelle.
Pretty quick and easy for one driver to take 2 cars to a show.

From 1982 to 1989 my 57 wagon was my daily driver. It was the only way I had to tow my trailer. It was 283/powerglide with drum brakes. Never had a problem.

In 1979-1981 while in college I drove my first Nomad back and forth from San Antonio, TX to Southeast KS (650 miles one way) for semester break and holidays - along with everywhere else I needed to go. It was the only car I had.

If you look closely you can see the ball hitch I mounted on the back - I pulled a small enclosed trailer with all my belongings back and forth for summer break.

I use my car for deer and hog hunting also.
They fit nicely in the trunk
4 door cars are easier to get your fishing buddies into.
Yes my hood is propped up in the rear for more airflow through the radiator at highway speeds.
And I installed a mirror on the passenger fender so it is easier to see the boat and trailers on that side.
