For Immediate Release: January 31, 2003

ST. LOUIS, Mo., – Passport Transport, the premier transporter of classic, collector and specialty automobiles, was recently named the official carrier of the Saratoga Automobile Museum in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. As the museum’s official carrier, Passport Transport coordinated and transported the initial 30 various classic and collector automobiles needed for the museum’s grand opening in June 2002. 

For museum officials, the choice of Passport Transport was an easy one. “Passport Transport has a tremendous reputation in the field,” said Frank Gardner, executive director of the museum. “The members of our board had worked with Passport in the past, so we knew the quality of service that the company provides.”

Passport Transport’s founder, Robert Pass, was thrilled with the distinction for his company, as this is another avenue for Passport to assist in advancing the car collecting hobby and appreciation of the vehicles from the past. 

“We are always excited to help more people learn about the joys of the classic automobiles,” Pass said. “Saratoga is a great, new museum that opens up more doors for the people of New York to learn about the vehicles that have helped shape their history. We are proud to be a part of the fun.”
