Actually, I towed my Herald for 75 highway miles late one night in
September of '76, behind my Mom's '74 Datsun station wagon with its
little 4-banger. The car just wouldn't run. There was no way it was
going to make it under its own power.
But it idled fine. So I rented a tow bar, hooked up the car, started the
motor, turned on the lights, and sped off into the night. Figured I
would know if the Herald's engine quit because its headlights, which
were aimed straight into my eyes via the Datsun's rearview mirror, would
dim. It only stalled once...
I still have the Herald. The Datsun has long returned to the earth. So
go figure.
