Abstract: Vehicle towing apparatus comprises a supporting frame adapted to be mounted on the rear and top of a passenger car. The frame includes an upstanding support having a horizontal cross member and an upright slot which opens through the cross member. An elongated boom is disposed in registry with the slot. The boom is carried for longitudinal movement on the cross member for only a portion of its length, a pair of side rails on the boom directly supporting it from the cross member. The frame further includes a guide device spaced from the upstanding support which is mounted on the top of the passenger car. The guide device receives the boom for longitudinal sliding movement and also for swinging movement about a pivot pin in the guide device. An adjustable pin is carried by the upstanding support for spanning the slot and for carrying the boom when it is extended to a position which disengages the boom-supporting rails from the cross member.
