U.S.S. Chrysler Imperial

Our move is approaching faster and faster every day. Part of our move entailed moving our 1962 Chrysler Imperial. People have called the car several nicknames because of it's size. DH has had an Imperial since High School. He can't remember one time that the car had fit on any one's car trailer. We thought we would try our trailer to see if it would fit and were pleasantly surprised to find that it did. We hauled the car out to our friends Karen and Dave's farm house & stored it in their barn. Our plans are to come back in the spring once the snow melts to retrieve it. Below are a few photos to show you how much of the trailer it used. We had about 3/16" to work with between wheel wells inside the trailer. DH hit the mark the first time loading it. Amazing how he has an eye for centering things. Must be his love of design and the fact he's had the car since High School. Impressive sweetie! Great job!

Did we mention that DH has never strapped a vehicle down in a trailer before??? Well with a little thinking and a few different options of placement for the straps, it wasn't long before it was pulled into place and wasn't going anywhere. We got the truck & trailer on the road to Dave and Karen's & you could feel the weight of the car in the trailer but the truck had NO problems handling the weight. We figure all of our stuff in the trailer will weigh half the weight of the Impy.
