Rear end sag

the drivers side rear on my 74 pontiac catalina seems to be sitting lower than the passenger side. it was't like that the last time i took it out but i did notice it when backing in the driveway after a nice drive on NYC streets and potholes. i want to get it out the driveway so i can have it on level ground and even check the tire pressure. from what i measured, the passenger side bumper corner is sitting approx 1 1/2" higher than the driver side from the ground. i'm guessing that the springs may be in need of changing but i can't get my hands on some for 2-3 days. that presents a problem because i had plans to go to a swap meet this weekend in the car.

would it be very bad to drive it like this? i don't speed in the car and don't take corners hard. I figure the passengers/kids will sit on the passenger side because it has 6 doors and 3 benches. will it just look silly from the rear or would i be etting myself up for some type of catastrophic event?

thank you
