Vintage & Classic Car Towing in Louisville, KY

Collector cars deserve white-glove handling. Low-angle loading, soft tie-downs, and documented care from pickup to delivery — for antiques, muscle, resto-mods, and concours-level vehicles.

What we move

  • Antique and pre-war vehicles with original bumpers, wood, and delicate trim.
  • Classic muscle and hot rods, including lowered cars, staggered tires, and slicks.
  • Resto-mods and customs with splitters, air suspension, and side-exit exhaust.
  • European classics with unibody construction, aluminum panels, and fragile chrome.
  • Barn finds and non-runners with seized brakes, flat tires, or no steering.

How a collector car gets loaded

  • Low-angle approach with extended ramps and skates so nothing scrapes on the break-over.
  • Soft tie-downs at documented points — never over a bumper, a chrome overrider, or a leaf spring that wasn't built for it.
  • Air suspension raised, or the car skated, rather than dragging a splitter up a deck.
  • Non-runners winched slowly with a controlled line rather than yanked.
  • Full photo set before the car moves, so condition on arrival is never a matter of opinion.

Before the driver arrives

Tell dispatch the ride height, whether the car rolls, steers, and brakes, and whether the battery is connected. On a car with air suspension, mention whether it can be raised. Five minutes of that on the phone is the difference between a smooth load and a scraped splitter.

Documentation you can actually use

  • Time-stamped photos: pre-load condition, hookup points, plate and VIN, and drop-off confirmation.
  • Ordinance-aligned: our processes are built around LMCO and the relevant KRS requirements for Louisville and Bullitt County.
  • Itemized receipts: clear service descriptions and timestamps, ready for insurance, an employer, or a property manager.

Frequently asked questions

Do you use an enclosed trailer?
We transport on a flatbed carrier. If the vehicle requires fully enclosed transport for a long-distance or concours move, tell us and we'll be straight with you about whether we're the right fit or whether you want a dedicated enclosed hauler.
My car is extremely low. Can you still load it?
Usually, with ramps and skates that flatten the approach angle. Give dispatch the actual ground clearance when you call.
Can you move a car that doesn't run at all?
Yes. Non-runners get winched on. What matters is whether the wheels roll and the steering turns — tell us if either is seized.
