Went to see One Upon A Time In Hollywood yesterday. Would not recommend the movie, but the old cars were beautiful.

Independence weekend We seen a 60s full size car unknown make/model pulling about a 20 ft TT of about the same vintage. They had the old style trailer mirrors strapped on the front fenders (I did that at one time). The car looked level as it passed going the other direction. Compared to nowadays, that car may have been like some 1/2 ton pickups in weight and axle lengths and width.

Just to be clear the picture is not my car.
Mine was bronze (brown). Bought it in the late fifties.
Don't know if we even had cameras back then! lol
