Shipping a Model A 1 Attachment(s)
Hey guys,
I'm looking for suggestions for a carrier to ship a '29 Business Coupe from northern Illinois to the Kansas City, MO area. I posted it on Uship but not having much success so far. Any suggestions of someone to haul this would be greatly appreciated! |

Don’t list on Uship - it has turned into a place for auto transport brokers to bid on loads - by the time the fees are paid there is nothing left for the actual hauler. I joined up when they first started - it is not the same. My guess is - no one is taking your haul because your transport budget is below cost. Quote:

Re: Shipping a Model A If your A is road worthy drive it. Freeport, IL to KC is 450miles. You should be able to do it easily in 10 hrs.

Re: Shipping a Model A I am up in the Madison WI area, if I weren't so tall, would drive it for you. Coupes and Roadsters were not designed for tall people.
Wife and I just put 282 miles on our Model A on a day trip to Iowa to see the fall colors. |

Re: Shipping a Model A Good Morning...Driving your A on this trip might be a great deal of fun. However, I would do a couple to things to make it easier on the car and you and your favorite passenger. First I would spend some time with a map of the area and figure out the best non-freeway route to take. Second, I would break the trip into two days. 225 miles a day in an 'A' is plenty for us and for the 'A'. If no overdrive, then cruise along at 40 miles an hour, with overdrive run 55. Check into a nice little hotel, have a good shower, a good dinner and among other things, a good nights sleep. In the morning, check coolant, oil, lug nuts, tire pressure, and head out for the second day. Ernie in Arizona

Re: Shipping a Model A Bob,
By the way, that is a good looking 29 oval-window, business coupe. Does it have a trunk or a rumble seat? You are one lucky guy. Neil |
