Can it pull it? Nash Metropolitan

[user 135]

This is my dad's setup. He is going to put a hitch on the Nash for pulling the trailer on some trips. I doubt it will ever make it up a hill though. :wink:

1958 Nash Metropolitan

Wouldn't do it, the tail would be waging the dog. A v-8 would pull the hills. I wouldn't even try a pop up tent trailer.

id expect the trailer to pull the car around with any kind of wind :| hills wouldnt be fun either in my opinion.

on another note heres one with teardrop camper

To bad it probably will not work. Looks like a lot of fun.

 

[KJV]

it will work as long as the driver knows how to operate it.

 

[X-RAY]

pulling it is easy. the question is: can it stop it?

 

[KJV]

with trailer brakes,yes.

 

[maddogrider]

oooo i wouldnt even try that, my thought is if you have to swerve in any emergency situation the trailer would just push the car anywhere it wanted to. Try to talk him into a good running truck, although i have tried to get my father in law into a truck but he just keeps pulling his trailer around with a Chevy Astro van and keeps replacing transmissions. :roll:

Just kidding about towing. He just had them both sitting there so I decided to snap a pic.

That might work after the engine gets rebuilt.

Yeah, hack in an older LT-1 with an Edelbrock 'puter and hardware, but use a Turbo trans for that cool squawk when you hit second. 8) 8) :mrgreen:

and with it being so light you might get the same squawk in third and fourth! 8) :mrgreen:

I think a tranny fluid cooler would be a good idea..

 

[blackdiamond]

that'll scare the oil right out the old metro :shock:

 

[outskirtscustoms]
