Hey Bob.
The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1523-2 is the correct fit for your 1997 Honda Accord and connects to a tow bar via the Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly # 910021-00 like you mentioned.
For a tow bar, I recommend the etrailer SD # e74ZR because it's more cost-effective than a lot of other brands but you won't be sacrificing quality either.
To wrap up your flat towing setup you also need lighting and a brake kit. The Optronics Magnetic Light Kit # TL21RK is a great option that doesn't require permanent installation, and then the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR offers the same style of installation where you remove it when you aren't using it.
You'll want to check your owner's manual for any specifics when it comes to flat towing your Accord.
