After a slip slide drive in snow today, it occurred to me I have no idea how to tow the wedge if it got stuck or broke down..........

There is tow eye on the chassis. On the 400 I would not risk it, it just about managed the tug up the low loader without fouling the bib spoiler let alone the rest of it. Perhaps them front wheel lifters?

There are a couple of holes cut into the chassis plates (near the front by the ties rods IIRC)to which a rope etc. can be attached. Just need to be careful of angles with the under-spoiler. Also note that these cars should not be towed any great distance with the rear wheels on the ground unless drive is disconnected (prop)as the gearbox doesn't get properly lubricated.
