Hemmings Motor News, front of book, in 'services' section , lists many enclosed transporters. Horseless Carriage, and Reliable are just two that quckly come to mind. I passed my copy of HMN on so can't review any others or pass on phone numbers. A neighbor uses Reliable to transport his 53 Vette and 65 Mustang to Fla from Detroit every fall and back again in the spring and has never had a problem. He pays maybe $75 or so extra for door to door pickup vs a 'storage location' pickup and drop off point. Reliable has hauled one of my show cars with no problems and has been used by Ford Motor co to haul show cars etc to and from events. I would not use anyone that you can't get a personal reference from, ie, someone that has used them and check your insurance to be sure it is covered during transport, vs using their insurance only. They might not all be able to get you the exact delivery dates you want as they are big rigs that they ideally try to group loads so it is not one 40 foot trailer and only one car inside. The types of cars the major carriers many times handle far exceed the value of our cars yet you will/should get the same degree of professional care as they give a $2 mil exotic or brass vintage car. Good Luck. I am sure there are some horror stories out there, but of those I have talked to who have had cars shipped, the good experiences were numerous with the major carriers . Bill.
