Good Morning!

 

When I was transporting show cars in the '70's, I used a company called Passport.  I'm not sure they are still in business, but I do know that by putting Fine Automobile Transportation into your computer, you will find a number of them listed there as well as rail car transport.  If you have doubts, call Kruse Auto Auctioneers and ask them for a recommendation.  Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale would also be a good contact.   Good Luck!

Subject: IML: U-Haul vs private carrier

Hi!

I'm trying to decide which is the best way to get my '48 Crown Imperial from MN to AZ.  Although I have many talents I can't drive two vehicles at the same time.  I have reserved a U-Haul transport for 2 weeks from now which was my original plan, to pull behind my Dodge Ram.  However tonight I was thinking of all the wear and tear, etc. as well as a the WEIGHT issue and started to think of a possible alternative via a professional carrier.

Do any of you know any contacts for a reputable carrier?   I think I'm much better off checking out all of the possibilites.   The limo is about 20 minutes NE of downtown St. Paul and would be delivered to the Eastern side of Mesa, AZ.

I know that some carriers use flatbeds and other use walled trailers.  Info on either will be most appreciated.

Thanks!
