Help! Need a Car Carrier--MO to CA

Chris Bruno - Deceased - 1962-2022

My capacity to offend people is unequalled. The current group of people I have insulted is car carrier brokers who use bulletin boards to compare trucking prices they give to people like you and me. When I learned of the notes they write to each other as they collectively bid on the same job, I said, "I think that's collusion." When I kept getting hammered by automated emails with teasers prices only to discover the actual price to move something is nearly double, I said, "I think the FTC calls that Bait & Switch." So now, I could spend all weekend requesting quotes to move this coach (which one of you told me last year to buy) but no one in internetland will so much as respond. It's a 1950 Superior Hearse in pristine condition (aside from the surface rust) (and the forklift damage)(the missing windows)(the bird's nests)(and not having run since Dwight D. was in office) and I am happy to pay prevailing rates to drag it out west. One of you must know an actual car carrier or trucker that would allow me to bypass the broker network. Or if you have a brother-in-law (who you are still on talking terms with) who has an MC license you can have him go to load board to find one. Again, this is not my fault. One of you told me to buy this thing for parts. I spend all disposable cash on car parts. I daydream in Cadillac. Help a brother out!

Chris, based on the date markers on the hood, I believe the coach is actually an S&S, not a Superior unless they've been added later.
 
Car Carrier

Chris,
Well I hope you rested up from the Ripon show !!
As I said it was a pleasure meeting you !!:thumbsup:
Without a doubt I agree with Attila on Martin....he moved my 70 Rescuer from Colorado last December....I booked with him in early November and he promised I would have the car by Christmas...I recieved a call on Christmas day saying he would be there that night.....:)
I also can suggest 2 brothers transport 2brotherstransport@gmail.com
Mike310-925-7815 or Sean 310-654-8590..I think they are based in California but make east coast runs.
 
Contact Danny Ryder for help. He found a carrier for bringing my 1969 Miller Meteor Cadillac ambulance from Ed's home in South Dakota to Strubridge MA for me at a very reasonable rate for a 2000 mile move.
 
Thank You! Thank You! and Thank You!

Rob Shepard so inculcated me to the Miller-Meteor brand that I was blind to any other coach builder until the Ripon show this year when I saw my very first Superior up close and was tormented by feelings of utter inferiority because it was so Space Age (and supplied with period-correct accoutrements) that it appeared capable of hovering above the earth and transporting George Jetson to some inter-galactic Emergency Room. My own Criterion in comparison looked like it belonged to Elvis from his fat era . . . all the drugs were missing! (Ba-boom!)

Rob Shepard slapped me out of my self-pity via cell phone thereafter telling me I would win in any Professional Car Demo Derby (because when the Zombies come that's all these things are going to be used for). So, yes, it is an S&S which will be stripped for that Midlife '51 Miller of mine.

And please let me know if I am ****ing any of you off, yet. This is the only organization I need to remain in. I apologize in advance.
 
I lost Bob's address and number it was right here some were but he is heading from my place to the east cost in a week of so. may be looking for a load to bring back. Ask Tony Karsina for his number.

it seams to me the farther back you go the less any parts interchange from one manufacture to another. all the GM stuff will of course be the same.
 
Chris: Based on a recommendation from PCS Member Bill Marcy a year or so ago we have used 4 Corners Transport Services a number of times now including one trip hauling a Restored X-CDF 1949 REO Fire Engine from CA to to the R.E. Olds Musuem in Oldsmar, FL., near Tampa. ALL Moves have been very reasonable and handled professionally. If you send them an e-mail (and picture) of what you want hauled from Point A to Point B (with addresses and zip codes)... they normally will send you a reply within an hour or so with a quote.

Good Luck! / MM
