Dan Hiebert Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 We've finally got our D24 in Maine, this is the longest I've gone without either having it around to tinker with and drive, or knowing its out there in the garage and I should be tinkering with it or driving it. Of all the moves we've made for Uncle Sam, this one has gone the smoothest, albeit the most drawn out. We decided to have the ole Dodge transported out here from Buffalo, the hardest part of which was finding someone that would do it, since Houlton is apparently off the beaten specialty auto transport path. We went with a company out of Elma, NY (near Buffalo), cost $1,100 to include picking it up at the house. Would have been $975 if we had taken it to their yard. It got drop shipped / subcontracted at least twice, and I couldn't get a firm delivery date until two days before they actually delivered it, but all in all it went quite well. If anyone is interested in the company info, let me know - I don't want to advertise on the Forum unless someone is actually interested. Arriving in Houlton Meeting the new digs All snug and comfy (Awesome "blank slate" garage with mega-space. We received our household goods yesterday, all the stuff from a one car garage we used for storage in Buffalo, as well as everything from the regular two car garage is now in here, and there's still room for two more cars!) 3 Quote
pflaming Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Welcome to Maine. You just arrived, I'm about to leave, which I hate to do. We will be at Mackinac Island a week from today. Seems unreal, but so it will be. Remind me, where in Maine, north from Bath I know. Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Welcome to Maine. You just arrived, I'm about to leave, which I hate to do. We will be at Mackinac Island a week from today. Seems unreal, but so it will be. Remind me, where in Maine, north from Bath I know. At the end/start (depending on which way your going) of I-95. We're actually out in the sticks in the town of Ludlow, a bit northeast of Houlton proper. I had hoped to get down there and meet you while you were in Maine but I couldn't break free long enough. I read where you've been to Mackinac Island before, so I know you'll enjoy that. We went there several years ago when we lived in Michigan. Safe travels! Quote
Mark D Posted July 25, 2015 Report Posted July 25, 2015 Headed up to check out a biz coupe in a couple weeks Dan. Back again in August, September and October. Might even attempt to drive the '49 up on one of those trips. Gonna have to plan to cross paths. Quote
pflaming Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 Dan and Mark, will hook up next summer. Quote
