How NOT to load a car...

[Jeff Clark]

A friend of mine sold this old Hudson on ebay and well the trucking co came to pick it up this weekend... and Yes there was a person in the car came out with a few bumps and a broken arm, lucky I would say... The first pic is great! car mid air :facepalm:

 

[Boomstick]

Jesus, what a waste.

That frame is likely bent to hell, along with the rest of the car. :crying:

 

[jbrewton]

so how did it happen?
drove off the end or the truck tipped it forward somehow?

 

[ole4]

That is gonna make me cry! What a shame.

The car was a original restorable 56 Hudson 2dr kinda rare I guess, I am not much into Hudson's so I do not know for sure. The car did not run they were using the hydraulic lift positions on the trailer to move the car forward and it got away so to say...

Hope they used Paypal???

The seller did his part, buyer arranged shipping at this point it will be between the buyer and trucking co.

[Txpowdercoater]

holy sheeeeeeeeit!!

 

[Inventorpardue]

That must have sounded bad, especially from inside the car!

 

[jbrewton]

Not sure why someone needed to be in car if they were just moving it with their hydraulics? Seems like a bad idea to be up there anyway!

Now you see why Hudson went out of business, NO AIR BAGS!

Just a bad day for everyone. I hope they checked the shipper out carefully before signing the contract.

 

[Beal]

Oh... oh......... oh.... Thats... that sucks!
Thats terrible...

 

[superflea]

So did that model come in convertible?

 

[Wild Goose]

Is that a Hudson compact?

This is a perfict example why you drain the gas and oil before shipping in case the package gets turned up side down? LOL
