Re your enquiry--(1) Trailering is a generic kinda thing. Seems to me
the process is the same whether it be a T, an A or a panzerwagen. (2)
I don't recall your specific inquiry, but either you do it your self
or pay to have it done. If the latter, there are two alternatives:
(a) Look in Hemming's Motor News. There are dozens of car carriers
who advertise therein. Will run about $800-1000+ to have someone do
it for you. (b) If you are moving, put it in a van. Actually pretty
cheap, if you are already using the van.

Well, this question has come up several times before, and I guess
people are getting tired of it. My best guess.

Nope, this is the place. It takes a few weeks to get the flavor of
the list. For the most part, folks are friendly and willing to help
when they have time. But like I said, you may have been better off
posting your particular question on rec.autos.antiques or some such
place, since your problem is generic.
Good luck! A. B. Bonds
