    He is picking up a car for me in the next week or two in WI and taking it to Kent WA. Tell him you are a friend of James Weinman's and Chris Pollak's!

    What did you get in WI? I just bought a 67 convert. WI seems to be a very hot spot for Buicks lately!

    Hi Gord
    I won't be picking up the car for a while. I'm having some work done on it before it comes home. From my experience, the best way to go is to have the car dropped in WA then pick it up and drive it across the border. There is a storage yard in Blaine and also in Sumas where you can have it dropped. In my case, I met the carrier in Sumas. To bring the car across you need to register a copy of the title and bill of sale with U. S. Customs at least 3 days before you bring the car across.
    As far as cost, you will get quotes from $900 to around $1300. I suggest you follow Chris' advice. He knows these people and with car carriers it is usually hit and miss unless you know their track record. It's worth a few extra $$. I speak from experience!

    My quote from Saint Francis WI to Kent WA (2,000 miles) was $975 open or $1,350 enclosed from Kevin.
