Using our '56 Patrician we towed a '56 Caribbean convertible 50 miles without incident using a tow bar. The next day we retrieved a '56 Patrician that came along with the deal with a tow bar. Neither drive shaft was disconnected and it went fine. We paid $400 for both, the only thing that worked on the Carib was the horn.
solid, complete and it had 2 Offenhauser ribbed aluminum valve covers bolted on top of top of top of the hood scoops, but it did have a brand new factory engine

Total price $400, year:1963 We still have the Caribbean, we parted out the Patrician and just threw out the 4 doors we had saved. Later in college I dated Janet Offenhauser who worked on her 54 Renault, she was definately a keeper but that was not to be.
