Classic car shows in winter head south. This makes sense, of course. You don’t want to contend with the Midwest’s bitter cold, the two-foot blizzards of New England, or the non-stop rain of the Pacific Northwest. So car shows head south, particularly to Southern California, Nevada, and the Southeast. There’s just one problem. How do you get your cars there? The best answer is often to ship classic cars south.
The Downside of Driving
Driving a classic car to its destination means sustaining some of that bad weather, exposing it to road salt, freezing rain, and an increased likelihood of accident. Plus, let’s be honest. If modern cars have improved on one front, it’s the heating. Classic cars don’t exactly keep the chill out.
When you ship antique cars or classic cars, you need to make sure they stay absolutely safe. You need to work with a shipping company for cars, one that’s shipped classic cars safely and securely for years. We’ve handled everything from antique cars to modern racing cars, even shipping them over oceans and around the world. If there’s one thing we know and pride ourselves on, it’s shipping cars.
Shipping Classic Cars
It’s a pretty easy process if you haven’t done it before. The car can even be picked up at your home or storage area. For such unique and expensive cars, we’d recommend crating the car for the best protection.
Above all, don’t forget to take notes on the condition of the car and take images or video to back that up. This holds us accountable, so that if there’s ever any dent or damage during transport, you can prove the condition of the car for insurances purposes. Some shipping companies won’t remind you of that. We have faith and put a lot of effort and knowledge into shipping cars, so we’ll make sure you remember to do it if for no other reason than as a best practice for you and your car.
