We saw a coupe that had been open trailered from Tx to mid CA and has a ruined top when it arrived in Livermore. All the hold down nails in the front were up 1/4 inch or so and the top material was torn near several of them. The metal strip the nails went through was also bent up. The driver denied traveling over 55 mph, but then the buyer refused to pay for the car and it was towed back to Tx. Don't think I would tow one far and if I did, I'd do it myself and slow down if there was anything but a tailwind. Might turn the car around also. I towed a truck from Rio Rico, AZ to Danville, Ca and made it a two long days trip, never over 50 and arrived with no damage. 29 ccpu.
