Looking for a recommended transporter for a vintage H-Mod car from Dallas to Virginia. Have you used someone fairly recently and were happy with the service? Want enclosed transport. Thanks!

A set of these steel wheels (with rain tires mounted) came with a Crossle 45 that I bought about 4 years ago. They have lived in the attic of my shop since.

Can anyone ID them?

I see that your new car has chimneys. Is this a cooling measure? I would think that there is a big drag factor? What did your CFD model tell you?
