This is my 1962 MOPAR Transporter loaded with a new load of 62 MOPARs for the dealership. This is the AITM Dodge CNT kit with a Dodge L 700 doner the trailer is the AMT transporter loaded with 2 Chysler 300 H, a Plymouth Fury and Valient plus the Dodge Dart 440. Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome. Thanks Dan

 

I grew up in Detroit from the 1940's to 1960's. I lived 3 blocks from Lynch Road Assembly (Plymouth plant),  about a 1/2 mile from Dodge Main in Hamtramck and about 4 blocks from the Packard PLant. It was an everyday event to see car haulers going up and down the local streets. Around 1957 when I turned 13 me and my friends would ride our bikes down to the loading docks and watch all the cars being loaded on the car haulers and the trains for shipment. We would pick out our favorite cars which we would buy if we were old enough and just have a great time. It was really cool to see the new cars before they hit the showrooms. Most of my neighbors worked at one of these plants and the streets were filled with Mopars. I eventually ended up working at the Chrysler Tech Centers in Highland Park and Auburn Hills Michigan for 42 years in the Motorsports department. Awesome times in the auto industry.

Very beautiful Dodge CTN Dan!   I've always loved those old Dodge trucks and this older thread is worth returning to be seen by new members and some not so new... like me...   The delivery will be rather interesting by the way! ?

Thanks for the info Dan!  I will dig in the section to find the original threads if you made any... I'm curious and very interested of course... ?

Beautiful Dan!  There aren't many models from this era that I don't like... it must have been torture to choose one in particular in the dealer's yard at the time!

These were old used cars by the time I was able to get a new car.

Thank you for your comments guys I appreciate them. 
 

Just to add a little more information on the build I hand drilled all the holes in the trailer grating. Does anyone know how many holes this trailer has?

[Dutzie]

Too many! ?
