  Andy, you can put the car on the dolly BACKWARDS,
tie the steering wheel down SECURELY, and tow it
SLOWER to get it home. A car towed this way tends to
fish-tail more ( I towed a Gremlin to a friend's house
this way, 20 miles, and anything over 45 mph tended to
get an unnerving oscillation going...I'd have to slam
the brakes briefly to get it to stop for awhile ). If
you have an anti-sway setup on the dolly, may not
happen. But any play in the towed wheels on the
ground, and the dolly and car will start to sway some,
and then keep going. I think it had to do with the
coil springs being more susceptible to bouncing than
stiffer leaf springs, so the car would rock from side
to side more, then get oscillations going. Anyway.... 
  This could be an easier way, if you don't mind
driving slower with it, or can get an anti-sway setup
for the dolly. Good luck! ( with the wife..heh heh! )

Jerry in Virginia
