My daughter sent me this pic taken yesterday (Wed.) on US 550 between Silverton and Ouray, CO.
Nice color match on the trailer. "Plum Crazy" maybe? No, wait, that's a Mopar color.

When I bought my first Corvette, a well-used '56 w/Powerslide, purchased in '59, it had a receiver hitch on it and had trailered a U-Haul - hey, I was desperate to buy a used one and there were precious few for sale in Albuquerque at that time - the transmission went Tango Uniform within six months.

Not something I would do with my car, but hey, if it works for that owner and there have been no problems, then .

when I moved from Ind. to Ca. in Dec. of 1973 I drove my 1967(4-speed,327/300 h.p.) Vette pulling a 10 ft. U-haul. Was stopped in Flagstaff for only having one side mirror. Never had a problem with the Vette then or later on.

Can't state with 100% certainty, but that probably is a member of our club out of Huntsville. He and his wife were planning a cross country trip this summer.
