Finally I got the time to go over your valuable information...

If I understand correctly, the Packard Service Bulletin (55T-27) advices reinforcements to the frame and Torsion Level device when towing more than 500 lbs. So, a solution with a trailer would be difficult as the trailer quite surely would become heavier than this. I'm also hesitating to alter the car irreversibly...

I have seen hitch racks for wheel chairs earlier, but only on www. Of cause, a lot of bike racks that work similarly are sold here but it seems that nobody here wants a wheel chair carrier on the hitch. I still have to find out if they would be street legal in Switzerland.

Aesthetically, this may be not the most desirable solution, (but wheel chairs aren't, neither...). I will contact them. Wonder where the difference lies at prices between 200 and 700 $...

PackardV8: Sorry, your link doesn't work on my PC. Your advice to look for a swing-away solution is very helpfull, nevertheless.

I have checked all the links (Guscha: Your link leads me to the HP but I can't open the pages).

Seems that I could not keep my Executive no longer in our apartment's parking facility (is that the correct word?) as it is already too long for a usual Swiss parking lot...
