One of the first thing I noticed about the Impala backside was this freakin’ tow hitch. I had thought who would put something like this on a classic ride.

After looking at the setup from below I can tell this wasn’t a hack job. By the amount of surface discoloration and rusting this rig has been on for a good long time. That’s when it dawned on me that folks back then would probably use whatever vehicles they had. Most families probably didn’t have multiple vehicles like a truck and at that time it wasn’t considered a classic car at all.

Photo taken before I got the shop vac action going. You can see the tow hitch electrical wiring set just below towards the bottom of the picture.
