It can sometimes depend on perspective.  Here the Dodge Brothers tourer doesn't look quite as big compared with Trundles as it really is.  Big Grin

A comparison indicates that it doesn't have to be modern to be bigger, this is a Crossley Sporting coupe.

This was 7 years ago. It is now a running chassis but the body is beyond hope. Not many of these in western Canada.  Gord

The trailer was designed to town an Alfa Giulia, does a sterling job of towing the 7's

Nobody is beyond hope. Well, the car body won't be, with a deep enough pocket, or a basket full of skills. Are you hoping to keep it intact?

I'd love to keep it intact, Tony, but the pockets are too shallow. I've been a mechanic all my life, but not a metal fabricator. I am also a full time care giver to my wife who has Alzheimer's. I'm surprised I've come this far on the chassis. I have the history of the car from 1947. Lots of photos but not for this thread.   Gord
