This is the AITM Dodge CNT kit with a Dodge L 700 doner the trailer is the AMT transporter loaded with 2 Chysler 300 H, a Plymouth Fury and Valient plus the Dodge Dart 440. Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome. Thanks Dan I grew up in Detroit from the 1940's to 1960's. I lived 3 blocks from Lynch Road Assembly (Plymouth plant), about a 1/2 mile from Dodge Main in Hamtramck and about 4 blocks from the Packard PLant. It was an everyday event to see car haulers going up and down the local streets. Around 1957 when I turned 13 me and my friends would ride our bikes down to the loading docks and watch all the cars being loaded on the car haulers and the trains for shipment. We would pick out our favorite cars which we would buy if we were old enough and just have a great time. It was really cool to see the new cars before they hit the showrooms. Most of my neighbors worked at one of these plants and the streets were filled with Mopars. I eventually ended up working at the Chrysler Tech Centers in Highland Park and Auburn Hills Michigan for 42 years in the Motorsports department. Awesome times in the auto industry.

AmericanMuscleFan Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Beautiful Dan! There aren't many models from this era that I don't like... it must have been torture to choose one in particular in the dealer's yard at the time!

Mopar - D Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thank you for your comments guys I appreciate them. Just to add a little more information on the build I hand drilled all the holes in the trailer grating. Does anyone know how many holes this trailer has?
