I picked up a ’57 Herters Eldorado
Rocket (gotta love that name) a couple years ago. It needs a little
refurbishing but plan on getting it behind my 59 Plymouth this summer. Putting a hitch on the
car might be a problem. I’m going to try and come up with a hitch
where maybe I’ll have a removable tube receiver so hitch won’t be
visible when not towing boat. John Z

Those old finned
fiberglass boats are cool. For a couple years now I've been wanting to
get one to tow behind my '59 Dodge. There were a gazillion different ones
built. Some of those boat manufacturers obviously ripped off their
designs from the auto companies...or vice versa?? That Sea Fury on ebay I
always thought looks more like a '55 Pontiac
with fins.
