Yes, someone did write about installing a hitch.  He had mounted it to the
frame on the front of the car.

Just a point of information, if you tow a car with all four wheels on the
ground, as you would be doing with a tow bar, you leave the steering wheel
*unlocked* so the front tires can follow you in turns.

A while ago there was someone who had written (if I understood correctly)
that he'd had a tow hitch installed on his Bricklin and was able to use it
to tow the Bricklin around by another vehicle.
Part of the process involved removing the shaft to the differential
(something I'm already familiar with after buying my Bricklin and
bringing/towing it home for the first time).
Did I understand that correctly or am I being too optimistic?

Has any one else ever done that?
How are the wheels secured; just lock the front via steering column?

It'd be nice to not have to buy or rent a tow dolly when needing to tow it
at a moments notice.
