[FWDLK] Re2: (re-)introduction: 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer D500 4-door

Also, I have a friend who works for an overseas shipping company.  He is not sure if his company will work with a private individual, but told me that you can contact the shipping manager at his company to see if they will ship for you or can recommend another company for overseas shipping:

Kuehne & Nagel, Inc.
Baltimore, Maryland

phone (410) 789-1075, ask for Rob Hutchens, and tell him you were referred by a friend of Bobby Simmons.

(I am the friend of Bobby Simmons :-)

Regards,
Lou

Subject: [FWDLK] (re-)introduction: 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer D500 4-door

Hi there,


I'm 45 years of age, maried with three lovely daugthers.
I live in The Neterlands, Europe. My hometown is Apeldoorn, see for
yourself:
http://www.vvvapeldoorn.nl/front_EN.htm (english language!)
and
http://www.vvvveluwe.nl/ (dutch language only...).

I've been on this list before, even several times. And still have some
contacts.
I just never succeeded in getting my own '56 Dodge, �ause thta's what I want
ever since I owned one 25 years ago.

Now it seems I've finally got her. Just won an auction on the Internet:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2485526761
a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer D500!!!.., not a 2-door, but who cares?
Almost nobody knows the difference over here!
She's located in Bremerton, Washington.

I still have to check with the VIN#, engine# and the info on the data plate.
But after everyting is okay, I will pay the $ 500 deposit and probably pick
her up myself.
That might sound easy to you, but it sure isn't: I live in The Netherlands,
Europe.
Happily flying is cheaper these days: for about $ 300 I'm there.

She needs a little work (that is: i hope just a little...), anyway the
brakes and exhaust needs to be done. And I want the wide white wall tires
mounted. I would like to have this done in the States, before I come to pick
her up.
I would really appriciate some advice on this.

And then offcourse, she needs to be shipped to The Netherlands.
I thought there are two possibilities:
1. ship directly from the Washington state;
2. drive her east and ship anywhere from the eastcoast.

Driving her would be nice, a sort of vacation to (hopefully) always
remember. But also risky, since you never know what might happen during such
a long trip. Shipping from the eastcoast will be less expensive.
Shipping from the westcoast seems like the easiest to do, but I do not yet
know anything about costs.
Can anybody give me a hint on how to find out about shipping?

Well, so far for now, I "look forward" to your reply!


Sincerely,

JIm Hoekendijk,
The Netherlands.
