Hours after the expected call never came, we drove to the location with three pickups and two trailers and sat down the road. The enclosed trailer awaited the treasured Galaxie, and the open trailer, for the accompanying parts car. And we waited some more.
Finally, we got the call that we were good to go. We drove down to the owner’s shop and proceeded to load the Galaxie into the trailer before literally utilizing a crane and a flatbed to hoist the parts car up onto the other trailer. It was a sight to see. With the car safely in our possession, we breathed a collective sigh of relief. She was home.
