What size and where on the west coast? I know of a trailer in Central Oregon. I am not sure of the size but it currently houses a model A and I would have to find out what he wants for it. Let me know if you need more info. Dennis

I suggest google-inc used trailers in your area. I'd bet a gazillion sites pop up. Seems they're everywhere.

Too many, makes it difficult for someone like me who’s never bought a trailer. I’m also looking….

Yeh, I can't argue that one! Basically, you have to decide what you want in the way of length, height, etc. and plug that into a website's search box and that filters out the rest.

FJ is probably right in his suggestion.
I bought a new 20 foot trailer to haul my 1925 pickup to Missouri to have my friend Wayne help me install top and seat back.
It worked out well.
I then bought a 28 foot trailer on a local list to haul a old airplane to California.
worked out well but the brakes were WEAK. I plan to use it for storage but may overhaul the brakes at some point.
I plan to use to 20 foot trailer to move my T's about
