I am looking for any advice that the list might
have concerning shipping of a car. Hopefully, if everything works out, I
will soon be the proud owner of a forward-look car ('57 Belvedere). The
problem I have is how to get it from San Francisco to Minneapolis.
Driving it back here is a pretty unattractive option (the factors being time and
whether or not the car would survive the 2,000-mile trip), therefore, it looks
like I am going to have to resort to having it shipped here and I am looking for
any advice on how to keep the costs of this as low as possible. Any
thoughts that you veterans of this stuff might have regarding what company to
use and any other tricks aimed at keeping the price down would be much
appreciated.
In case you can't tell, I am new to all of this, in
fact, this is my first "classic car" purchase of any kind and I am looking
forward to picking all of your brains as I work on getting this one back to
it's original glory. As far as I'm concerned, these forward-look cars that
we all love so much are rolling, V-6 and V-8 powered works of art. Sadly,
looking at today's automobile industry, it appears that it has become a dead art
(is it just me or do most of the cars on the road these days look like
carbon-copies of whatever is sitting right next to 'em?), which is all
the more reason to get these beauties back on the street and remind people of
how it once was and how it could be again. Ok, enough of this sappy
crap.
Thanks for any help that any of you are able to
offer.
