My Dad's cars finally arrived in BC!
Permalink  
 


 

Yesterday completed a saga that started about a year ago to get my Dad's cars here to BC. Original shipper failed hard to the point of abandoning the Studebaker at a service station in Saskatchewan and never returned for it. Once that company contacted me, I could pick up the pieces and get a new shipper to finish the job. The Mercury was in a field in Edmonton with grass so tall the car was not visible. I plan to take the original company to court in the near future, but not holding my breath.

Very glad to have them back in my possession. Now is the slow road to putting them back into original condition.

Nice cars and I'm glad you finally got them. If you could name the shippers so others can be aware of them.

I'm still finding out some new things about these people, but the 'Company' is/was called Vehicles in Motion; Don't know current status, but the contract wasn't directly with them which is how they operate. Before I made the deal, they didn't have a bad rep online in fact was mostly positive, but starting mid last year the thing went very hard south on the online rep front. VIM as I understand is really just some dude in Louisiana. 

The shipper I was assigned is Brian Denena of Orillia. 

 

Stay far away

There were concerns on pick up. But those didn't even come close to prepare for the final truths.

 It is a friend. He is a Studebaker club member.

I'll try to get a picture or two.

That Studebaker is a nice little car. The tube supplying air to the carb is just screaming "INSTALL TURBO HERE",,,,, IMO
