[Shotimes] Re: Vehicle Relocation Service (Anyone?)

[Donald Mallinson]

Check Hemmings Motor News (they have a web site now) they 
have a section for transportation companies.  Also, the 
weekly "Old Car Weekly" newspaper is a good place to look.

Once when I was going to the east coast deadheading out with 
an empty trailer to bring back some family furniture and a 
car from a relative of my wife's going into a retirement 
home, I advertised in Old Cars Weekly.  Got a 58 Buick going 
from Chicago to Ohio, then an old Caddy going from Ohio to 
Penn.  Helped pay for the gas on the entire trip, but was a 
hastle!
