Default Pulling car up on flatbed

I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I am wondering where the hook is placed to pull the car up on a flatbed. I don't want to deal with additional problems should I ever have to have mine towed! Thanks in advance -

The driver should know....I have had mine flat bedded a couple times and the driver knew his stuff....they will also need some wood to help with the transition so the front don't scrape

One can only hope the driver knows - or cares. Thanks for the thought but, just in case he doesn't know - I want to know . Can anyone shed light on this? Thanks -

I am wondering where the hook is placed to pull the car up on a flatbed.
it is in the passenger side front opening, near the foglight................on Euro spec vettes

unfortunately it is welded to the front frame. It looks awful, but once removed I cannot bolt it back in place.

Only let them pull it up using the transport wholes under the rockers just behind the front tires or where the door and fender meets. This is what they are designed for. Just don't ever let them hook around your control arms or ny suspension.

Yes, don't let them pull the Vette up there, or secure it any other way. And be sure not to forget the wood boards.
