Shipped a car to Japan and back but the military did that for us..

They used a container on a ship...

We had to get our car specially cleaned before we took it to the dock in San Francisco..we had to find someone who did that but there was a list as many troops took cars with them in those days (1970s)

as I recall it had to be shipped at least 2 weeks before we flew out to our assignments...though both my husband and I were in the USAF we could only ship one car for free...

They would only ship newish cars in good condition (another thing we had to do, get a special inspection...)

I know it was very involved ...

Very interesting info.
Of course your steering wheel was on the “wrong” side over there too.

You should try shipping a dog to China. Now that’s involved....
