CLASSIC CAR SHIPPING
Classic cars can be drivers, restoration projects or carefully preserved collectibles. Each needs a different conversation before transport. Dreamline helps you plan around the condition, handling requirements and route of your vehicle, with open and enclosed options reviewed according to its needs.
Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts · Helping you plan the details
01
Describe condition beyond runs or does not run
An older car may start but have weak brakes, slow leaks or an unreliable transmission. Explain whether it rolls, steers and brakes, and identify any parts that cannot support tie-downs or normal loading. Restoration projects need an equipment review before pickup.
02
Choose the right level of shelter
Enclosed transport is often considered for collectible paintwork, restored finishes and valuable vehicles. Open transport may suit other situations. Compare the available equipment, handling requirements and cost rather than deciding on the age of the car alone.
03
Prepare a practical operating note
Explain battery switches, unusual starting procedures, alarm systems and any special instructions for moving the car. Provide working keys. Secure detachable trim and discuss spare parts separately; loose restoration components should not be assumed to be included in the shipment.
04
Document the car carefully
Photograph the body, trim, glass, wheels and any existing damage before loading. Review the inspection with the driver and repeat it at delivery. If collecting from an auction or seller, coordinate release documents and hours before scheduling the carrier.

COMMON QUESTIONS.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
Still working through the details? Call our team to talk about your vehicle and route.
Can I ship a restoration project?
Possibly, depending on its condition and available equipment. Explain whether the vehicle rolls, steers and brakes and disclose loose or missing parts.
Are spare parts included in the shipment?
Ask the carrier before adding parts. Weight, securement, space and coverage restrictions can apply.
Should I choose open or enclosed transport?
Discuss the car condition, finish, value, clearance and budget. Enclosed adds shelter, while suitable loading and documentation matter for either option.
