When I moved from DC to WI about 2 years ago I used two different
companies to move my cars. I could not recommend either. While they were
cheap, I didn't feel they respected the vehicles. While none were
seriously damaged, it wasn't for their lack of trying.

Then, a few months ago I bought an inoperative '70 Datsun Roadster from
CA. The seller (who normally dealt in cheap LBC's) strongly recommended
D&G Transport.(They advertise in Old Cars and Hemmings)

I called them (a husband and wife team: Danny and Gwen Ross) and was
impressed with their knowledge and prices (for an open transport).

Upon arrival (on time),The carrier contained my Roadster along with an
unique group (inluding a couple of high dollar street rods, likely the
best Sunbeam Imp in the country, and even a couple of crappy cars...
inlcuding a very tired and beaten Eagle Wagon.  Danny treated the Eagle
(and my less than pristine Roadster) as if they were priceless. 

This is the type of enthusiast I want to deal with.  On my next move,
the have my business.

No relationship other than a very satisfied customer.

Spridgetless at the moment... but willing to trade a rough 2000 for a
