A Nasty Surprise when the Car is being prepped for shipment!
On May 25th we moved car from Storage to the house in Wilmington for the eventual move to Florida. While the car was in Storage it was on a car trailer with a car cover installed. Occasionally, I would go over to the storage facility and check on the status of the car. At no point did I lift the cover over the left front fender. This was to prove to be a mistake. Because on the day we were being packed by the movers – we found that the left front fender had been damaged! See the photo below.
As you can see it appears that a truck backed into the car as the car was on a car trailer and the fender would have been slightly higher than waiste height. Fortunately, the delay in putting the car back together minimized the damage. Imagine of the headlamps and chrome surrounds had been in the car when hit! Yikes I shudder to imagine the replacement parts cost. Fortunately, the parts weren’t damaged and the car will ultimately head to the body shop for a repair.
