Good Luck!!!! Not sure about the utility trailer, but I have transported mine on a flatbed tow-truck several times (also '28 phaeton) as long as she's rolling on your new tires, grab the front axel from both sides if you can and once it is positioned you can tie down behind each wheel, make sure E-brake is secured and maybe in gear with a couple wheel chocks. Always best to secure at axels not bumpers or wheel rims. I have seen the "over-the-tire" straps too.
Put the top down to prevent it from ripping off if you're going highway speeds.
Only 15 miles, go slow take the backroads, but check with others about the weight limit of your trailer.
