Hello all,is it necessary to remove the driveshaft from my 1952 Patrician before using a tow dolly?
I'm assuming that the car has an automatic and not a standard transmission.
There are several threads on here that address that issue. You
can tow the car on it's rear wheels without the need to remove the drive shaft with some restrictions as to how far and at what speed.
My opinion here is, because the car has been sitting for so long, you would be far better off unhooking the drive shaft or towing the car with the rear wheels off the ground. The short answer, in my opinion, is Yes remove the drive shaft.
My 51 had been sitting about 10 years too. I was able to get it running so I figured if the car would move then the trans was ok for now and drove the car home.
