Yeah, I was thinking more along those lines than setting any sort of trailer-towing land speed record...

But it looks cool. But it already seems heavy...that wood frame alone has to weigh a bit, doesn't it?

My stepfather built a neat little "luggage trailer" to tow behind their hot-rod, the yellow '29 Ford coupe he built. He got the trailer built but, unfortunately, wasn't able to get it painted and completely wired/trimmed (the same yellow as the car, flared fenders, etc.) before he unexpectedly passed in late 2004. It's sitting out beside the garage, next to the car, still bare metal...



But it was a teardrop thing, and curvy and rounded (very Airstream-ish, but only about three-feet tall and 5-6 feet long...but it had the nice curved, lowered look of the car, and would've looked awesome riding behind it, with matching paint, chrome trim/accents and a smaller set of similar wheels and tires). It was to hold suitcases, etc. since the car didn't have much interior space (two seats and about 6" of room behind them, if that).
