Cool story Tom. . Any pics of the trailer from the good ol' days....or now? .
If the trailer isn't worth bringing back to life, would the sides w/ the faded paint be good as 'garage art' nailed to a shop wall? .

I always liked this picture. The 2nd car from the left is my favorite. Hey Tom let's buy the trailer and we can haul your 68 Harrell funny car & my 70 Fred Gibb car!!!!

I bet it was " a treat" loading and unloading cars in that thing. I am guessing they used the same method as ramp trucks back then, a couple of planks.

Cordova had a grass dock that those trucks could back up to. Still needed planks, but not that scary.
I can't make it out in that picture. Is that Gibb camaro red, or purple.
