I think it would have freaked me out backing that pickup up the ramps to the #1 spot on the carrier. I wonder how many fell off.
When I was in high school 30+ years ago, I had an ROP auto body class. There were a couple of cars there donated by GM for us to practice on, they had fallen off the car carrier. They were the Buick or Pontiac equivalent of a Chevy Nova, circa 1979. Rear ends crunched and folded under. We kids were all drooling at the power velour bucket seats, but the rules were strict. No parts could be sold, they were for instruction only. They also had carbs that looked like a Quadrajet, but were 2-barrels with the secondaries blanked off.
I don't think I have seen any new vehicles traveling by carrier for 20+ years. Is it still done?
