The show consists of the largest showcase of vehicles within its 3 decades of existence, while occupying some 700,000 square feet of display space.

From Mercedes to Maserati, the Houston Auto Show produced by the Houston Automobile Dealers Association, has brought a wide array of featured car brands to the great state of Texas. Consumers get a first-hand experience with the vehicles by getting to see, touch, and drive the auto industry’s latest and greatest offerings.

N-Motion Auto Transport is always finding new ways in integrate themselves into the automotive marketplace and the Houston Auto Show is has a stronghold on the industry. As earlier stated in this article, enclosed transport is the best solution for cars needing special attention with being shipped from point A to B. Enclosed car shipping carriers utilize hard-side trailers with specialized lift gates for low ground clearance vehicles. The premier hard-side enclosure ensures the safety of the vehicle from airborne elements such as dust, dirt, rocks, and flying debris. There is no telling what the road ahead has in store and most people do not want to take the chance to find out. Lift gates are a must in this industry because ramps don't accommodate low body vehicles that have little ground clearance. Many newer vehicles have low profile wheels and tires, so customers will enjoy the safe entree into the hard-side enclosed trailer.

N-Motion Auto Transport Now has More Trucks Running to Canada Due to the Influx of Canadian Car Collectors' U.S. Purchases

Due to the resurgence of the U.S. dollar, Canadian car collectors are purchasing classic and antique vehicles at a rapid rate from U.S. sellers.  N-Motion Auto Transport has stepped up and increased operations to provide car shipping services to fulfill this high demand.

The U.S. dollar is back on the rise and Canadian car collectors are trying to take full advantage of the multitude of well-intact classic cars in the U.S. The United States is a great place to purchase older vehicles because there are more areas with ideal climate.

So, Canadian collectors find it best to purchase vehicles from more ideal climates that will keep the value of the vehicle.

N-Motion Auto Transport now has more trucks running back and forth to Canada due to this high demand of classic cars being purchased in the U.S. They continue to follow the trends of the auto transport market so that they can continue to offer quality service to all sectors of the industry. Their increased trucking efforts to Canada has made car shipping and border crossing a breeze. N-Motion Auto Transport has quality relationships with customs agencies and can refer customers from any Canadian province to their designated provider.

N-Motion Auto Transport recommends classic cars to be shipped in their enclosed car carriers to avoid exposure to weather and debris from the long road ahead. Enclosed transport provides customers with peace of mind by utilizing hard side trailers with lift gates for cars with even the lowest of ground clearance.

Oldest Surviving Production Ford in the World Finally Comes Home to Mr. William Ford

Vehicles tend to increase in value when they exceed a normal human’s lifespan – they become what we call a collector car.  The problem with newer cars is that the second you drive that thing off of the dealership lot it depreciates in value.  Bill Ford, Henry Ford’s great-grandson, purchased this 1903 Ford Model A last October for a whopping $264,000.00 at an auction.  He is only the 6^th owner of this vehicle (one of the 1^st three ever built & the oldest surviving production car by Ford.) 

Collector Car Shipping

The first owner of this Model A was Herbert McNary.  He paid only $850.00 for the car over half a century ago and took extreme care of it, as you can see.  Herbert might have never seen it coming but his mediocre amount of money kept the Ford Motor Co. from falling over the edge of bankruptcy. 

Back in 1903, the Ford Motor Co. had as little as $225.00 sitting in their bank account which was nowhere near what the impending payroll was.  McNary put down a deposit of $170.00 on the vehicle and another $300.00 deposit from the Indiana Motor Co. for another Model A.  The $850.00 was a full-price payment from a Dr. E Pfenning for his car.  This value totaling to $1320.00 is what kept Henry Ford’s dream alive and before he knew it, 1700 Model A’s we assembled in his Detroit Plant.

Mr. McNary’s family sold the Model A to a collector for $400.00 and the new owner just couldn’t wait to get it restored.  He then re-sold the car to a Swiss Ford dealer some years later.  The collectible sat in Germany’s Ford of Europe’s Cologne until 2001.  Before the vehicle was able to reach the auction block, this Model A was a part of the John O’Quinn collection, before he passed away.  It then received a minor restoration by Terry Deters Restorations following the auction.

Antique Vehicle Shipping

Now, this is just one of the many types of vehicles that deserve only the best modes of transportation and it would most definitely go on an enclosed transport carrier.  The car shipping process would be as careful as if you were sending grandma off to the airport.

It’s That Time of Year Again…Family Road Trips Are in Full Effect and Safety is Always Most Important

The year is coming to an end and it’s the holidays again.  Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are all very popular occasions in which families decide to take road trips to visit loved ones all over the world.  Being organized and prepared for such trips is highly important because it’s hard to know what the road ahead has in store.

Car maintenance is number one on the to-do list, but if drivers constantly stay up to date with it there should be no worries.  Nothing says disaster more than being broken down on the side of the road with whining children in the back seat and a possible loss of cell phone coverage.  Responsible vehicle owners will get their cars serviced every 90 days or so and shouldn't have much to worry about.  It’s good to have a trusty mechanic at your side to keep you current on all maintenance scheduling and quality workmanship.  Regular oil changes and diagnostics are especially important.  Some of the following services are recommended while having your oil changed; checking tire pressure, making sure windshield wipers aren't dry rotted, all lights (including headlights, brake lights, etc.) and fluid levels (including motor oil, coolant, transmission, brake, windshield washer and most importantly anti-freeze.  Winter is the season in which anti-freeze is the most vital due to high chances of weather conditions hitting freezing levels.

It’s never a bad idea to get a roadside assistance service for the trip as well.  Most insurance firms will offer this and it’s especially important when traveling with small children and/or alone.  The services are typically very cost effective and could save drivers many headaches in the event of a breakdown. 

An emergency travel kit is highly recommended for every travel, whether it is a short trip or a long travel.  Unexpected delays happen far more often than not and drivers need to be prepared for such events.  A usual kit should include tools, first aid supplies, emergency rations, water, blankets, flashlights (with batteries), roadside flares, tire gauge, jumper cables, and a spare tire and accessories. 

Be sure that frequent stops are included in the trip as well.  It make hurt the time frame in which was anticipated to arrive at the destination, but it will surely make a difference.

For those who prefer to travel by airplane yet still want to use their own vehicles at their final destination, N-Motion Auto Transport offers services such as auto shipping, car shipping and enclosed transport.

New Addition to the Mercedes-Benz Family

Mercedes has launched a new SL roadster and it has gone though a total makeover. New materials have been used in order to make the body more powerful. Other elements of the vehicle are executed from plastic, such as the boot lid. Mercedes is offering a couple of engine types; a supercharged V8 with about 435HP and 700NM torque (the SL500 version) and a 3.5-liter atmospheric V6 with 306HP and 370NM torque (the SL350 version.) Each car offers very fuel-friendly systems and 7-step automatic transmissions. The max speed is identical on both versions – 250km/h. The list of technologies includes 3 variants of a sunroof that consumers can choose from – painted, glass or panoramic with blackout. To add to the extensive list are low-frequency speakers at the passengers’ feet, crash preparation, adaptive head lights, and multimedia command system. First glimpse of the ride was at a Detroit showroom on January 9th. With all of the many new automobiles that are to come out on the market within such a short span of time, Mercedes sure does know how to compete and conquer. Why not let N-Motion Auto Transport move your new vehicle from point A to point B. Only dependable auto shippers should have the honor of transporting these kings of the road.

Know the Facts about Auto Transport

There are several things that a consumer needs to take in consideration about vehicle shipping to anywhere in the nation or even internationally. Make sure that you do plenty of research on the companies that you might have in mind for your auto transport service. There are a lot of shady companies in this industry and we want to make sure that the consumers are getting all of the facts. Many companies lie about a wide array of things in order for you to book your load with them. These “lies” consist of altered time frames, far lower prices than what the load should be in order for it to get picked up in a timely manner (and then once you put down your deposit, they increase the price to what it should be or even higher), and whether they are just a Broker or a Carrier/Broker. Brokers are not asset based, so they do not have their own trucks but have access to several carriers around the nation. Good brokers, like N-Motion Auto Transport, do an extensive screening process and background check on each carrier before the job is contracted out. Broker/Carriers are asset based and have their own rigs, but often broker more than utilize their own trucks. To find out what category these companies fall under, check out SaferSys for further information.

International Car Shipping Firms Merge?

The international car shipping business has been showing a few signs that it might be shipping cars to more destinations in 2010 and beyond of late. The signs in the water will certainly have been noted by international auto haulers that have been waiting for the signs and timing to be right for them to put plans into effect. This appears to be the case for the recent merger announcement by two of the world’s owners of fleets of international ocean car carriers. Eidsiva Rederi and Dyvi Shipping announced the other day they were working on a plan to begin doing combined fleet operations in the future and were thinking about building up their fleet of car moving vessels in order to do a lot more business in the years ahead.

At the moment, Eidsiva Rederi has a fleet of around 12 ocean vehicle carriers and Ro-Ro vessels, while Oslo-based Dyvi Shipping operates 5 pure vehicle carriers (PCC). Dyvi Shipping also boosts that they were the first to construct a vessel of this type in the early 1960s, but verifying this has been difficult.

At the moment facts surrounding this merger idea and how these two companies met and when they started courting has been difficult to find and they appear to be a little coy about the facts surrounding their affair.

What does the future hold for these two new business partners? Apparently, this new business entity is going to be making moves to build up their business in the future and expand operations. It could be this new partnership might be working with some of the big boys in the industry in the future as Dyvi Shipping according to sources in the business has a history of working long-term with some of the biggest and best in the business.

Suspected Pirate Killed, The fight against piracy

The cost of piracy is a subject that has been on the minds of more and more international car shipping firms and overseas shipping companies and apparently a few have started to hire private security to protect their valuable ships and their freight loads. The price of piracy also took the life of a suspected pirate Tuesday as private security hired to protect the Panama-flagged freight carrier Almezaan fired warning shots at individuals they believed were about to try to board the ship. The suspected pirates apparently returned after being warned-off and this time the private security fired at the suspected pirates and their boat, killing one suspect in the defensive action. The battle wasn’t over though as Spanish naval forces were in pursuit and would eventually sink the ship the pirates are suspected of coming from and arresting six suspected pirates.

This is certainly unfortunate news, especially with the pirates returning after being fired upon, which means they’re becoming a little more brazen in their piracy attacks upon vessels and maybe becoming a little more desperate in their economic position. It does appear that the pirates have unwittingly created an increase in business for private security firms of the world that offer services to overseas shipping companies. In fact, we can certainly expect private security firms to begin designing security solutions specifically for shipping services, considering the opportunity that they must see before them. The new security measures they’ll devise will certainly be good news for international shipping that has been suffering under the threat of piracy for years now. The new security measures are going to mean new business costs will have to be absorbed by shipping lines and they’ll certainly have to pass these costs onto the customer.

The best thing might be that it could get governments of the world to start taking a little more positive action in the battle to combat piracy on the open oceans. This of course could be a dream considering the problems that are inherent in such a plan, but even the ocean freight industry can dream.

Smera Campaign, One-Person Plug-in Changes Hauling, car transporters, car hauler

It might not be as sexy as the Porsche electric car, but Daimler’s Lumeneo subsidiary showed off an interesting one-passenger Smera electric car at the Geneva Auto Show; it might create a different framework for car transporters, for it is small enough to be racked two abreast on a standard-sized car hauler. You’d have to create a new type of car hauler with four wheel slots rather than two, but I’ve seen similar set ups for hauling golf carts, where they move them two abreast on both levels.

It’s not a family car by any stretch of the imagination, but if you’re looking for a second-car for a commuting spouse, you don’t need a ten-passenger van to drive yourself to work. When I was looking for a new car for commuting to work three years ago, I would have considered the Smera as an option, for I played with the idea of a moped or other low-power motorcycle; the Smera comes close to being an enclosed motorcycle with four wheels rather than two.

The small nature of the Smera might scare off some buyer, fearful that they’d get Smeraed all over the road if hit by a semi. The Smera might create some interesting options for urban commuters; sharing a parking space might be one of them, which might slide a few people away from mass transit. It might steal customers from more conventional-sized plug-ins, but might also slide some people up from light motorcycles; the market research for it might require throwing out a lot of automotive research models.

Canadian Retire Your Ride Program, 8% of US Cost, 80% Rate of Cars Retired

Japan’s Cash-for-Clunkers analog has gotten some press here in the US, mainly for the lack of eligible US-made cars that you could trade in your car for; however, a lower-key Canadian program has been keeping Canadian car haulers busy since last year. The Retire Your Ride program put 55,000 cars out to pasture in 2009. That’s roughly proportional on a per-capita basis to the 690,000 cars that the US program retired, but spending only C$300 a car compared to the US$3500 per-car figure that Uncle Sam spent.

The Retire Your Ride program targets cars made in 1995 and older that have been owned for six months and are in working order; those last provisions keep people from buying a hulk from the junkyard and getting a quick $300. Green-friendly options can expand the $300 to larger rebates on bicycles and mopeds ($500 in Ontario and $700 in British Columbia), or a year’s pass on a number of city’s mass transit systems. Some of the major car companies, such as Ford, GM, and Hyundai, are offering generous rebates for RYR donors.

The RYR program will make a dent on the used-car market in Canada, as a lot of affordable cars from the early 90s and back will be unavailable. Teens that might have wanted to get a cheap first car to tinker with will be stuck with a bike or bumming their parent’s cars. It will mean less business for car transporters getting older cars to and from auctions but hulk-haulers will get some extra business from Retire Your Ride.

Reposessed Cars Up in 2010, Adds to Tight Used Car Market

The supply of used cars may be tight, as we looked at earlier in the day, but there is one area of supply that is growing and will be aiding car haulers: repossessions. Repos are up about 20% from last year, and the strong used car market means that the collection companies will recoup most of the value of the car from the resale at auction. The repo company featured in the article managed to sell 59 out of 62 cars at auction.

The tight use car market might encourage the “you’ve got a pulse and a job, you’ve got credit” used car lots, for if they can be assured that they’ll get the lion’s share of the value of the car back from a repo auction, they will be more likely to have loose credit standards, for a default may not set the firm back much. The strong used car market will mean that the sub-prime car lots will be buyers at the auctions if they aren’t merely recycling the cars they sold and repossessed.

That will mean that car carriers will want to make those sub-prime used car places part of their work matrix, since they will be a larger part of the used car market, especially as a number of GM nameplates go the way of the dodo and have no natural home for their sale. You know to look for an used Chevy at a Chevy dealer, but where do you find the Saturns and Pontiacs now that their dealerships have been phased out?

Disoriented Car Hauler in FL?, Winds Up in Ditch Headed Wrong Way

Here’s an interesting story about a car hauler crash in southern Florida. The hauler turned over in a ditch at 2:30PM heading eastbound on FL-66 just west of Sebring. The driver was stated to have been bringing a full load of used cars back from Nova Auto Sales to a customer in north Florida; his story was that he had to dodge an oncoming car and found himself in the ditch.

There’s a problem with that story; the Nova Auto Sales that shows up on a Google search is in Miami, which is where the driver in question lives. If the driver were heading north with a load of trucks from Miami, he would not likely being heading eastbound on FL-66. There isn’t a good reason to be heading east into Sebring if you were coming from Miami heading north. The driver would have had to have gone further west, then doubled back east on FL-66 for some reason.

He might be logically heading westbound, having taken US-27 north out of the Miami area; truckers often use US-27 in that area as an alternative to other north-south highways in order to avoid weigh stations. The trucker could then jogged over on FL-66 in Sebring to grab US-17 heading north towards Winter Haven and Lakeland; even there, using US-98 a bit further north to hook up with US-17 would have made more sense if he was angling towards I-75.

Given that background, the driver here may have been a bit disoriented or somewhat less than truthful. The DOT was looking into the case and there might be reason to double-check the car transport driver in this case.

Chrysler Gives 60-Day Money-Back Deal on Vans, Limited Risk to Chrysler

Chrysler is doing a slightly risky maneuver with its minivans, giving a 60-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn’t work, they’ll have a lot of slightly-used minivans back in their lots with car haulers moving them to fleet customers and auto auctions, with Chrysler taking a loss on the deal.

Such money-back plans often have sound economics behind them, since people will have to be pretty ticked with a car to go through the paperwork of returning the car, then going through the shopping, registration and insurance hoops of getting a replacement car for the lemony Chrysler. With a smaller-ticket item like a TV set or a laptop, the opportunity cost of taking an under-performing new product back is rather small.

Thus, Chrysler is banking on a manageable level of buyer’s remorse; buyers know that they can take it back, but as long as the Chrysler they bought is close to as good as the other vans available in 20-20 hindsight, the opportunity cost will be larger than the remorse factor and they’ll grudgingly hang on to their new van.

Vans tend to be high mark-up items for car makers, so they can afford to give buyers an emotional safety net. The once that do come back will drop in price and have to be sold as used, frequently to someplace other than the dealership for fear of depressing new van prices, so vehicle transport will likely be called upon to take it away either to a used car auction or to a car rental company.

More Diesel Car Coming, German, Indian Makers Selling Diesels

The LA Auto Show is going on this week, which will lead to a lot of concept cars getting buzzed about as the cars of the 2010s (which is only four weeks away, how time flies) start to take shape. This Popular Mechanics article talks about diesel cars and how most of the US and Japanese auto makers are avoiding diesel engines.

However, the German car makers are big diesel fans; given that Mr. Diesel was German, it’s natural for them to back their hometown technology. One interesting concept car that is mentioned is the VW Up Light, which is a diesel-battery hybrid that gets 70MPG. New clean diesel fuel and engines make diesel cars and trucks far less polluting than in the past; Audi has been running a "Diesel: It's No Longer a Dirty Word" campaign to remind people of the changes in the technology.

The lede might have been buried in this piece, for only in the final paragraph does it mention that Indian car maker Mahindra is poised to enter the US market this year with a mid-sized pickup that will come with only a diesel engine; Mahindra is better known stateside for their agricultural tractors. I would have expected Tata to be the first Indian car company to get an American toe-hold, but they’ve been beaten to the march.

The prospect of more diesel in cars and light trucks would be a double-edged sword for the trucking industry. It would increase the demand for diesel which would raise the price, but a broader demand for diesel would tend to create more stable price for diesel.

Shipping vs. Driving

Most people are probably wondering, “why would I ship my car? I can just drive it! Shipping just seems so expensive.” A reasonable question, sure, but the costs that go into driving your vehicle are rather costly. Let's assume that you need to move across the country, from Grand Rapids, MI to Houston, TX. The trip itself takes about 20 hours of driving time, straight. That just isn't safe to drive all at once, so you'll need to stop for a night, halfway through. That adds on a hotel expense. Plus, you're going to have to eat at, which can get expensive. Not to mention, the sheer time expense involved. You spend two whole days, just traveling, to get your car to it's final destination. It's a dangerous gamble. Also, factor in the cost of gas. It's 1200 miles, and assuming your car gets 22 miles to the gallon, that's about 55 gallons of gas. And at the current price of $2.64 per gallon, you're talking about another $144 in fuel costs alone. The price keeps rising as more factors get added in. When you ship your vehicle, you can have the peace of mind that your car is making it's way to the destination, safely. And since you're not having to travel with it, you can take care of other business necessary for your move. You would let other people handle moving your other possessions, why not do the same for your car? It's efficient, in cost and in value.
