Bill;

Do yourself a favor go to:

I recently purchased, and please do not think I am crazy, a 1961 Imperial Lebaron, a 1961 Imperial crown, and a 1967 Imperial convertible. I used this company for all three their service was great and the shipping cost was one of the lowest you will find.

Have you checked Ebay?  I know that they have a recommended list of transporters now.  Also, we checked into a guy from Portland, OR, who does transport when another list member was looking to have a car moved from Eastern Washington to Texas.  He wasn't cheap, but I was told about him by a National freight company and found out that he hauls vehicles for dealerships all over the Northwest.  If you like I can track down his name and number again.  I think that he was in the $2500.00 range from Oregon to Washington (pickup), and then Washington to Texas (delivery), but it has been a while since I checked on it.
 
Let me know off list if you need more information, and I will call the freight company again for more information.
 
Take care.

Subject: IML: Auto transport - Seattle, WA to Boston, MA for a '66 Crown Convertible that is for sale

Hi everyone,

I know this has been discussed before, but I never paid much attention, or saved any emails regarding transporters.  I need to have some recommendations on good, reliable, reasonably priced enclosed auto transporters, which is preferred, but might as well check on open carriers as well just for price comparison.

Would anyone with this type of information who could give an actual recommendation from experience, please forward me the name of the company, or individual, and their contact information, and an approximate cost, or your actual cost to ship your Imperial, and how far you shipped.  This is cross country, so it could be costly, but I know I have seen emails that recommended transporters, and that they were reasonable.  Also, was some sort of guarantee of delivery date, or insurance involved, or available at extra cost, or even included in the cost

My sale may pivot on this detail, so I would appreciate any solid leads.

Thanks so much,

Bill Ulman
