I'm not sure if you realize but this is from the early 70s, everything had worse mileage back then, mileage didn't really matter because gas was so cheap
Are you sure about that? The 1973 oil crisis is what made mpg matter after a barrel of oil skyrocketed to almost $120(adjusted for inflation) barrel. Because of the crisis Japans Honda and Toyota gained foothold with their cheap and fuel efficient cars in the US car market which remains and is growing today.
@8stewiegriffin European standards are measured in kilometers & liters. The VW Beetle is a European automobile (German). Those Beetles look like they were from the late 1960's or 1970's.
@tangemka "If Dad performs a few of these girations while the family is having breakfast, there could be a trailor load of trouble" WTF is gross about that????
u sure ur drug free? haha what are u talking about? lmao, "if dad performs a few of these gyrations while the family is having breakfast there could be a trailer load of trouble"
1 distributes some part of trailer load on the roof of the car and you can actually bend the roof by sitting on it, so the column supporting are neither strong enough.
2 the distance between the hinge and lower front end of trailer; so it can go along with only smaller wheelbase cars.
3 The height of the roof is important, otherwise the trailer may tilt in front or rear direction about the pitch axis.
Nonniemayrox, Sorry, did offend you when I made a crak on that yellow bug?? Im sorry that you're still living with your mum and drives around in your beetle bug. By mum will not go out with some fat, ugly loaner like you. Finish your GED and get a life. Out
Today's speeds? I'm no expert, but I don't think we are going much faster now then we were then. ( talking about family cars ) I'm only 30 though so I could be wrong. I don't know the history of the motor.

Trailers (all kinds) can be extremely dangerous. There were probably a lot of safety concerns, especially for a trailer designed to fit on such a lightweight vehicle.

aakarshtheone 1 year ago
I fix your flaws:
1. the hitch is attached to the roof at the edges like all roof racks not in the middle of the roof.
2. a better hitch on the trailer could extend out for longer cars
3. a raised hitch on the car can adjust for lower roofs.
basic stuff
