Re: {Chrysler 300} Auto Transport Co

This past Spring, one of my local 300-F owner buddies shipped 5 or 6 of his new-Concours cars using Reliable from Phoenix to here in the Chicago area when he and his wife sold their winter home down there. Two of the cars broke loose - one was his ‘65 4-4-2 convertible - and moderately damaged them. He’s still dealing with Reliable to get the cars repaired.

Then, cruising home on the interstate last week in my F from a local car show, rolling at about 74 mph, a Horseless Carriage rig passed me by at at least 80, closely following the medium heavy traffic, and trying to pass most of it. My only thoughts were - what was in that trailer and hopes it gets to its destination undamaged.

Good luck!

Whatever you do, don’t use a broker. Hire one of the big 5, my preference is Intercity Lines. Horseless Carriage, Reliable or similar. You may not get the date you want but dates are useless when a lousy shipper with inferior equipment picks up your car. Brokered shippers use anybody with a warm body and a truck, the cars are loaded and unloaded from truck to truck as it makes its way and nobody who gets behind the wheel knows anything about your car or cares.

Use shippers who know how to handle antique automobiles.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Auto Transport Co

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a transport co to ship my 300 from Washington state to Minnesota. This is about a 1700 mile trip. The trailer would be enclosed. I have reached out to Reliable, Passport and Intercity Lines. They are unable to give any timeline whatsoever. Please go away price quotes were from $3500.00 to over $4000.00.
I did have a pick-up scheduled with a broker by the name of Montway, but the truck broke down and now they're unable to quote me a pick-up date. Have called a number of other brokers with not much success.
Did anyone have a good experience and or have knowledge of a reliable and trustworthy auto transporter. Hoping to transport the car ASAP. They're certainly great deal of scam artists in this field.

Thank-you

Larry Casey
