5 Classic Cars Hauled from Savannah to Des Moines in 4 Days

A private collector arranged shipment for five vintage American classics from Savannah, Georgia to Des Moines, Iowa. These restored and unrestored vehicles were safely loaded onto an open carrier by A1 Auto Transport and delivered across 1,160 miles in just 4 days.

Challenge

Classic cars often require special handling due to age, condition, and value. This haul included a mix of restored and partially restored vehicles — some with delicate undercarriages and soft suspension setups. Loading and unloading without damage was critical. The route also presented challenges due to colder Midwest weather and potential exposure during open transport.

Solution

A1 Auto Transport assigned a classic car–experienced driver and used extra tie-downs, tire straps, and soft cloth underlays to protect each unit. The team also provided daily photo updates via the customer portal, easing the collector’s concern over exposure. The carrier arrived on time and damage-free, with the vehicles ready for final prep and auction.
