Frank, Welcome to the list! I sent a note to you earlier. But, just wanted to welcome you also to the list. I used to own a '64 Valiant Signet 200 Convertible. Sold it to my brother a few years ago. He likes to shock the 55-57 T-bird owners by hiding among them. Actually, pretty convincing! Gets quite a few stares! You'll have no trouble using an Imperial as a tow vehicle. Matter of fact, sounds like a cool idea! Much more comfortable than any truck! --MarkE
