I use a Chrysler minivan also - towing a Formula Vee in a lightweight,
but enclosed, trailer. 11 mpg, but comfortable and returns to 22 when
the trailer is off - which is, after all, most of the time.
But I would be a candidate for a 1961 Chev 348 station wagon or a 68
Chrysler 440 wagon - my two favorite tow cars.
