Anybody have any suggestions for long distance towing of '49 Plymouth Station Wagon (Suburban). Purchased the car and now have to get it home. It's currently in southern California and I'm in southeast Pennsylvania. Have contacted a car transporter and he has failed at three different scheduled pick-up dates. Am going to try another transporter next week but if that doesn't work out am thinking I may drive out and pick up the car and tow it home. Have seen vehicles towed with all wheels on the ground using a towbar and at highway speeds. Figure this would be least expensive. Have also seen vehicles towed on dollies, with two wheels on the dolly and two on the road. Have looked into dolly rental in California but seems cross country dolly rental with U-Haul can only be done if you rent the tow vehicle from them. Third option would be a car hauling trailer and winch car onto it. Probably safest but most expensive. So I'm looking for thoughts and recommendations especially from folks who have experience doing similar towing. If tow using a dolly, is it better to put the front axle or rear axle on the dolly.
