Bob,
The previous owner of my '63 Bambi towed it with a 4-cylinder Toyota pickup,
and said he never had any problems. I tow my Bambi with a 6-cylinder
Astrovan, and have done lots of BIG mountains with no problems (though I'm
not always the quickest one up the grades). Your Flying Cloud probably
weighs less than my Bambi. I'd put in a transmission cooler and go for it.
(And yes, some will think we're both nuts.)
