A friend of mine is a retired Chrysler designer. He said that a few
years ago Chrysler was tying their cars down so tight on their
transporters that they frequently arrived at a dealer with a little
extra tow-in.

These are normally only found on cars that come over on a boat----
GM transporters use specially shaped "hooks" that go through "Slots" in
the cars frame or subframe---they usually ratchett the unit down so
tight that there is little or no suspension travel in trainsit--
