Tow dollies work just fine-I have hauled mine many thousands of miles.
Something else to think about-if there is ANY reason to believe that the
brakes may be seized up or even close to seized- remove the rear brake shoes
and adjuster assemblies  before towing.  Nothing quite like trying to remove
some red hot rear brake drums and shoes in the pouring rain at a roadside
rest area after towing a Sunbeam only 12 miles.....great character building
exercise though!  Oh yeah-don't tow a wire wheel car backwards with the
front wheels on the ground-that tends to loosen up the knock offs.
Good luck!
Eric
