1961 Impala – Reseda, CA to Commerce, MI


We picked up this 1961 Chevy Impala Convertible in Reseda, CA for delivery to the new owner in Commerce, MI. This is one fine car already, but the new owner is taking it one step further with plans on turning it into a "lowrider" show car. We will add follow up pictures to this web site when he has completed the transformation, so check back later!

1956 T-bird - Pasadena CA to Bend OR

We picked up this 1956 Ford Thunderbird, the result of a two-year restoration, in Pasadena, CA. The new owner in Bend, OR is not looking to hide this little beauty away - only bringing it out for shows - he will be driving it on a regular basis. Of course anywhere he stops will quickly turn into a show and tell. This car is a show all by itself. Check the picture of what's under the hood:

Mazda Cosmo - Lakewood WA to Meridianville Alabama

We picked up this Mazda Cosmo (right hand drive) from a Mazda aficionado in Lakewood, WA for delivery to another Mazda collector in Meridianville, Alabama. I would also put the new owner in the class of aficionado. This car is a 1990 model and is believed to be one of only two or three properly/legally registered in the USA. In its new home, this lucky car (if one can say that about a car) will share the garage with 3 other collector-grade Mazdas.

Mercedes - Las Vegas, NV to Blaine, WA

We just delivered this 2005 Mercedes to Blaine, WA for our shipper in Vancouver, Canada from Las Vegas, NV. The shipper took advantage of our single car enclosed transport for his prized "little baby". We delivered to a storage facility in Blaine so that the car could be processed by customs before crossing the border with the new owner at the wheel. There is a 72-hour waiting period while the authenticity of the auto's paperwork is checked out before he could pick it up.
