At Pro-Tow, we know that not every tow is the same. Standard fleet trucks or commuter vehicles are one thing, but when you’re working with a high-end hot rod, the job requires an extra level of care, skill, and precision.

Recently, our team was called out to assist with the transport of a 1933 Ford Factory Five. It was a job that perfectly showcased our expertise in specialty car towing and hot rod towing across Washington State.

We’ll get to that towing report in a moment. First, let’s talk about how cool this car is!

For car enthusiasts, the Factory Five Racing 1933 Hot Rod is a legend in its own right. Inspired by the original 1933 Ford coupe, this kit-built performance car is very customizable. Factory Five owners and classic car enthusiasts often invest countless hours and dollars into perfecting every detail.

That’s why transporting one isn’t just about getting it from point A to point B. It’s about ensuring that every inch of the vehicle is protected throughout the tow.

When our operator received the call, we immediately contacted the customer with an estimated time of arrival and ensured that all necessary authorizations were in place. Once on site, we carefully inspected and photographed the vehicle before beginning the loading process.

Because of the Factory Five’s low clearance and custom frame, a standard hook-and-tow method would have been risky. Instead, our team used ramps, soft straps, and a rollback flatbed to safely secure the hot rod. Precision was critical, and every step of the load process was completed slowly and deliberately to keep the tires properly aligned and the car perfectly balanced.

After the vehicle was positioned on the flatbed, we used soft straps to secure it without risking scratches or stress to the frame. With the car fully secured, our operator carefully transported it to the designated shop.

Upon arrival, the same level of care was applied in reverse. Using ramps and steady guiding, the 1933 Ford Factory Five was smoothly unloaded and placed where the customer requested, which was a high-end automotive repair facility. The result: a seamless specialty car towing experience that left the vehicle in pristine condition and got the job done!
