First American car transporter?

From http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=499900 via: http://chromjuwelen.tumblr.com

A great write up on the Dragster Insider at NHRA.com about Tommy Ivo's haulers / racecar transporters and trailers

I may be the only person to wonder this, but where is Tommy's 1969 Vette with the white racing stripe now?

From http://www.nhra.com/blog/dragster-insider/2010/07/27/tommys-towing-toys for the whole story (it's defintitely worth the reading!)

1956 Ford hauler with a C600 cab is new on the cruise scene in El Cajon... very cool!

For a similar 1950's Ford hauler / transporter, but it's a crew cab: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/king-cab-1950s-coe-ford-hauler-from.html

More 1970's race cars and the race car haulers/transporters

From http://pour15minutesdamour.blogspot.com/2010/05/on-any-sunday_30.html these are similar to : http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/nikollas-digs-up-coolest-photos-of-drag.html

the coolest rig at the Antique drags at Barona

The cover story isn't in this issue.. the pages were printed wrong and page 62 wasn't included to explain how to buy Dean's transporter

This is the Dean Moon Cheetah transporter.. and my December 1961 issue of Car and Driver doesn't have pages 57 to 65. It has pages 73 to 80 printed twice. See http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/12/update-on-dean-moons-awesome-hauler.html

The new owner of the transporter, (and finder of unique autos) Goeff has a copy of the Robert Lee Behme "$16,000 Transporter" article, the pages missing from my issue, and let me share them with you. Thanks to Dan of Hemmings http://blog.hemmings.com/ for connecting us!
