Yep - cool pics! I'll try not to duplicate those, except as follows -

I had two uncles that drove for FJ Boutell, hauling Buicks out of Flint, Michigan:








This is my Uncle Joe Toby; he actually loaned the money to Mr Boutell to start his business:



You may have heard "urban legends" about a Buick show car that was being transported on the top of the hauler and then got it's roof clipped off by an errant overpass (they had repaved the road and the driver didn't realize)? That was Uncle Joe; his relationship with Mr Boutell probably saved his job and the Buick lived on as a convertible.
