In 1972 I towed my 58 MGA from Webb AFB in West Texas to Pittsburgh,
PA to attend grad school. I had a hitch made that bolted on the
bumper bolts and used the same hitch to tow it from Pittsburgh to St
Louis for my first civilian job4 years later. I used the car daily
for 6 more years I had no problems from either tow & only sold the
car when I bought a 240Z.
