I used to flat tow my 57 Chevy and 67 Caprice Junior Stockers everywhere I went racing. Even towed the Caprice all the way to Bristol Tennessee. Only trouble was backing the 57 up a slight hill and into a garage, but it did get done. Sand (most everything is paved at dragstrips now, but it wasn't then) gets to be a problem too if you aren't ready for it. To tow through sand, you need to let the pressure in the front tires down on the towed vehicle so the tires will follow the tow vehicle. My tow bar was pretty long. It was a factory tow bar that originally came with a 64 Thunderbolt. I made my own brackets for the cars so they would fit the tow bar without having to modify it. Used NMW towing hubs and 54 Chevy wheels to get the right offset for clearance. Towed fine at legal highway speeds using a 69 Catalina with the 57, and a 73 Impala with the Caprice.
