I have an innate aversion to two wheeled dollies for towing purposes. That's how the big dent and the damaged chrome, blown tire, and 100ft of black marks on the highway happened to my '56 Patrician while it was being towed by a two wheeled dolly. On this particular incident, there were three pivot points involved, the ball hitch, the swivel on the dolly itself, and the un-lockable steering column of the Packard. Couple all of that with a driver who doesn't listen to me when I say to slow down and it's a recipe for disaster. When you're towing with a dolly you need to respect the dolly, otherwise it WILL bite you in the rear.
