Great

Those pics are amazing

 

I like the title and cool pics.

 

Nice 55 - what a day that musta been for you.
Glad she got there safely!

I am still amazed that the wood supports actually support the weight, esp over rolling seas!!
I am also amazed at how they can shoehorn them in there without damage.

 

Congrats!!! What a cool old Olds!

 

Well those pics were taken before the ship left , so even though the ship arrived safe we still havn't opened the container , which will be on monday or tuesday, so we are still a little anxious but these guys know what they are doing and all supports are made with timber cause its easy to dispose.
cheers chris.

 

Amazing pictures. I like the others wonder how they pack them in like that would be interesting and scary to watch. You must be like a litte kid a christmas, as my kids use to say when they where little "I'm so cited" Post some pictures when you get it home.

 

Wow! Man that really close to the hood ornament. A Packard and a Vette to boot! Is that the underside of an AC cobra replica in the third pic?

 

Shiver me timber!!!!

Good luck, very interesting information.

 

If I was a somali pirate, I'd hijack that ship. Have fun with her.

 

I thought the same, very close to the ornament, that is the underside of the corvette.
We are all very excited, the car is so close, only 5 minutes away from where we live yet we can't have it yet , has to go through customs etc, when its home , we will give it a bath and take some photos.
thanks for your replies.
cheers chris.

 

Very cool,looking foward to more pics after the car is unpacked and home.

I'm another who is amazed at the way they block and brace those cars on top of one another with wood.
