    Am I the only one that thinks the builder should have covered the back of the back seat. . . .tacky – I know, picky, picky, picky!

    • soconyredhorse says:

      I had the same observation–you are not being picky or tacky!!!. If the car was built for display in a museum (and not for real use), apparently the assumption was that no one would ever see the trunk or the back of the back seat. It would have been nominal additional cost to upholster it.

  • janetsum says:

    Does shipping the vehicle to MI mean that the vehicle will be properly imported or is that up to the buyer?

  • GroganClassicsInc says:

    Yes, we broker them across the border weekly and deliver them to Michigan. Most go to Reliable Carriers in Canton Michigan to arrange delivery anywhere in America.

  • soconyredhorse says:

    Will the car be delivered to Michigan for delivery if it is sold to a US buyer?

    • paulGC says:

      Usually we import & deliver to our preferred carrier “Reliable Carriers” in Michigan at no extra cost, then the vehicle can be anywhere in the USA with Reliable or the carrier of your choice for an addition fee.
      Heck, we have even meet folks across the border after importation and they have driven their car home. Lots of options…
