Good story here: I sold my 1901 Oldsmobile curved dash to a fellow in Redding, CA. He deposited the full amount $ into my account, money cleared and I sent him the title. He is arranging the shipping and I strongly suggested he call Jim @ Truly Vintage but he needed to "ship my car now" he said...ffwd to Christmas eve, dispatcher calls me and says, "our woman driver is at the local church parking lot, could you drive the carriage to her?" I drive to the church and there sits two Arabic jihadi's with a aluminum 3car trailer being pulled with a Ford dually. Not a word of English from these two monsters. I leave the car with them and walk home. I aint stickin' around. We are having biblical downpours here, flooding. Hours later I get a call from dispatcher saying the woman driver couldn't fit the car on the trailer, wheelbase was too narrow, and "she" had to leave it in the weather.....please retrieve the car. I did...in the wee hours of Christmas, i'm out in a downpour trying to get this carriage home. Morning comes and I check the car, the body had started to lift from drinking rain all night, 3 broken horns, chipped wood and covered in red GA. clay, not to mention a trashed pinion gear from mud boggin'. The buyer e-mails me and says he wants the car delivered in perfect condition like I stated when we made the deal.... The carriage is now @ the local impound lot with a growing storage bill waiting for the next fly-by-night shipper to pick it up.
