John,
The scary part of your message is that I actually remember when the Olds Toronado was used to introduce the concept of a "weight equalization" hitch design. I believe it was published in Popular Mechanics and was quite the industry rave for a brand new concept! I remember my friends and I pouring over the article, very interested in "how did they do that?"!
If I'm remembering correctly, they actually did a "cross country" trip with this rig - something like Chicago to San Francisco without any rear tires. They chained the trailer to the bumper to keep the rig going straight. It was quite the deal...
ah, the good old days...
