Local UHaul refused to rent a trailer for towing a Corvair.  I ended up driving it up with my wife following in the daily driver.  Worked out fine.  The Corvair probably benefitted from the longer than normal drive.  But I never did get any reasonable answer as to why they wouldn't rent me the trailer.  Must be some story there, maybe with a lawsuit from someone who didn't use the equipment properly???

There are 5 U-Haul dealers near me and everyone said the same thing. I did use one to haul my '60 sedan to the convention in Knoxville,I told them I was hauling a '62 Chevy II,they never blinked an eye. I put the car on frontwards and it towed perfectly. Ed in Florida
