I would like to know more about somehow having a hitch on my '32 car that wouldn't deduct points when I go to shows.

Again, a trailer hitch was not a genuine Chevrolet accessory in 1932, so ANY HITCH that you put on your car is subject to a point deduction. \:\( \:\( \:\(

Is there one that can be easily removed w/o damage to the bumper or frame or wherever it is attached?

Since my spare is in the rear, where/how to attach???

I know camping and trailering was popular in the '20 and '30 so there must be something that would work, maybe?

Thanks, I remember using bumper hitches on my '53 & '55 in the '50's.

A light weight trailer shouldn't be a problem for the 194, should it?

Then there are the lights.....maybe I should reconsider the whole thing.....

When I got my 25 Master Coach (spare on back) that I am restoring, it had two strange cast iron brackets inboard of the rear bumper but outboard of the brackets and held on by the same bolts holding the bumper brackets on. They look like they were used to support something - maybe a hitch - maybe a trunk?? Anyone know what they are?

The bumper jack "arm" slips in to the hole.They are necessary if you have an original screw type bumper jack.The '35 was ahead of its time.
