Vintage Carriers: A Load Of 1963 Cadillacs, Plus A Few More Cadillacs
Posted on February 19, 2024 | 29 CommentsFor some reason or another, I felt we had a fairly constant flow of Cadillac content in the second half of 2023. Could I be wrong? In any case, it’s […] -

Posted on September 11, 2023 | 10 CommentsA 1976 scene, according to the timeline on Citroën Van Beek’s website (and now I’m very sure that Eric703 can pinpoint the exact photo location). The DAF FA 2000/2200-series with […] -
Vintage Car Carriers: In With The New, Out With The Old

Car Transporter: Pontiac Trans Sports In Italy – Silhouettes, Actually
Posted on May 6, 2023 | 30 CommentsHere’s something a bit different: a load of Euro-spec Pontiac Trans Sports on an Iveco car Transporter. These 1994-1996 Tran Sports were actually Olds Silhouettes, as the the new 1994 […] -
Vintage Car Carrier: 1956 Chevrolet With Buick “Nailhead” V8 Truck Getting Two Speeding Tickets?
Posted on April 17, 2023 | 16 Comments(Updated) Looks to me like they’re both writing him up. To satisfy the need for even more power than the 155 hp 256 Chevy V8, in 1956 Chevrolet also used […] -

Vintage Car Carrier: The Flying Kind
Posted on December 16, 2022 | 20 CommentsIt’s bed time, so I’m going to let you ponder this scene. Looks like a converted DC-6. Update: it’s a converted DC-4, called the Carvair. -
Vintage Car Carriers: Three Loads Of Nash Ramblers
Posted on November 30, 2022 | 17 CommentsGreat picture. The trucks are the stars here, especially the two Fords, a ’51 and a ’52 (I think). Is that ’52 on the right sporting those chrome covers over […] -
Vintage Car Carrier: Chevrolet-Montpelier COE (1935-1937) – Outsourced, Until Chevy Built Its Own
Posted on November 27, 2022 | 9 CommentsThe Cab Over Engine (“COE”) configuration dates back to the trucks earliest days, but it mostly faded away until an upsurge in interest in the mid-30s, as it looked modern […] -
Vintage Car Carrier: These Cars Were Chained On Properly
Posted on November 18, 2022 | 7 CommentsWe’ve seen a number of car carrier mishaps, and typically one or more cars are separated from the trailer. But not this load of Pontiacs, which are still all in […] -

Posted on November 16, 2022 | 14 CommentsThis old photo at Dick Copello’s Flickr page states that this is “unloading Hudsons in the late 1940s”. I don’t think so, but I was instantly taken by how handsome […] -
Car Carrier Of The Day: A Mixed Load Including Four Eagle Premiers
Posted on November 14, 2022 | 12 CommentsThey’re mighty rare nowadays, but there was a time when Eagle Premiers (and Dodge Monacos) were being sent out into the great big world, having been birthed at Brampton, Ontario. […] -

Posted on November 12, 2022 | 33 CommentsWhen I ran across this, I thought: Nice load of ’62 Pontiacs; wonder if there’s a GP with 8-lug wheels aboard? I zoomed in and sure enough, the white two […] -
