i shipped a 1953 Cadillac to Sweden years ago. it was picked up by a guy the buyer set up shipping with. he was a grubby looking dude with a junky pickup and trailer to match. i took a bunch of pics of the caddy driving up onto the trailer, him strapping it down, and several pics of the car in general as it was when it left here. it was headed to the docks in Baltimore, where it was to be put in a sea can for it's journey. about six weeks later, the buyer contacted me. he was super pumped, as the car was WAY better than he expected, and it had made it's way to it's new home unharmed ! who woulda' thunked ?

When I worked at the Chevy dealer here many years ago everything came on open car hauler trucks like that and likely still do. Most damage I saw was usually on vehicles on the bottom deck caused by the driver loading the vehicles and not the actual ride to the dealership. Having seen all that years ago I'd say it's likely safer from damage being way up high, although it looks scarier. Exactly. Been in the car business 32 years. Everything gets delivered via open transport trucks. Ran a new car GM dealership for 15 years, got thousands of cars delivered, can think of virtually nothing that had issues cosmetically after getting checked over in service while taking delivery. Now days tons of 100k type cars and trucks get delivered all over the country daily off 9 car open transport trucks. Most here have no idea what they are talking about. I own my own dealership now(11 years) and have had one issue with damage. It was a Ram truck about a year ago that had damage on the roof of the cab That been it. So when i said 99+ % earlier in this thread, its based on actual real world data
