I LOVE Vintage Car Haulers

Some more vintage than others:



















I drooled over this one while visiting the Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart





These two are just bitchen'!





And a more modern interpretation

Tempo Matador's are just badass for sure! They made a van too! Love the car hauler

I love those setups too.  I want to build a diesel engined flatbed with a midengine and a bus double cab for my drag car.  And I could pull a second car behind it on the trailer.  I think that would look cool pulling into a VW show.

I love the pics above too.  I always thought it would be cool to locate an old COE cab to build one.  An owner of a local body shop did one.  Starting with a 1940's Ford COE truck, he found a salavaged motor home chasis, and then combined the two (cab from the COE truck and the frame and drivetrain from the motor home).  He then fabbed up a flat carrier for the rear, and today he hauls his '32 Ford roadster.  It is bright yellow and rides on polished alcoa's.

I thought it would be cool to take a similar route, but find a cummins drivetrain from a salvaged Dodge Ram.
