Unique auto transport

The cars look to be new but the hauler is confusing. It looks like there is a fourth car behind and part of the caravan. Does anyone remember these?

from the way it looks to me, there are 4 cars total, looks like someone stopped him just shy of a jackknife. tom

By the looks of it you would not be backing that rig! Reverse is not an option.

Ha ha, not a good option, anyway. One can back a four-wheel, tongue-steered trailer, but it's not easy. We had two farm wagons made that way when I was a youngster and I could back them into a barn door with grandad Sam's '54 Ford NAA tractor. It took quite a bit of practice, as well as patience. You had to concentrate on the direction the tongue pointed to even have half a chance at success. You had to keep the tongue reasonably straight (square) with your tractor. It's been a while, but I think I could still do it with power steering.

It would be very hard to do with a long wheel based truck.

This appears to be the same type of transport (two part). I covered up the 9 letter cuss word! LOL

A “precious load” for sure! I wonder what was inside.
