Honestly I couldn't tell you. I'm sure it depends on the the owner, the car, and how trustingthey are of the older cars/and other drivers on the road. If I get mine legal by next year I want to go for the whole weekend, and I'll probably have my old man take it out on the trailer as I KNOW it will not have been on a 3 hour drive by then to see how reliable it is, and I'd rather get it there and back in one piece. I did talk to one couple who said thier daughter was dirving her II up from Va, but it died on route so she didn't make it.

Ahh ok... I ask this because I am a motorcycle rider and to trailer your "Bike" somewhere for an event is really looked down upon, I just did not know the etiquette at car shows

Sometimes it seems at the larger national car show events, that it's just the opposite. And trailering is certainly not something out of the ordinary, anywhere.Thankfully, there are still classes for both at events like these, so those that don't see the point of having a car only to trailer from show to show, can still participate....and the common spectators don't have to view too many cars from standing behind a rope, like at a dinosaur museum.
While trailering occurs at almost any show, and moreso at the larger events that have the highest dollar cars in attendance, there are certain events that are more geared to the "driven" cars, and of making the trip to get there.
The large street rod segment of the automotive hobby might represent this best.
Like bike events, many owners with a club affiliation might also travel in groups to attend. This would also be true at similarly large meets with owners of multi-make street machines, whose owners generally favor the performance aspects of a car first and foremost, to those who's biggest concern might be duplicating a factory original down to the most minute detail.
Trailering seems most prevelant at national events that have a large contingent of people competing for awards, and collector types hoping to buy rare original cars. Many of the cars are restored soley for the purpose of competiton, and are seldom if ever driven. Some others may be trailered, due to being very limited production cars with historical significance.
You might say, that those who trailer cars may have different priorites and thoughts about their vehicles purpose in general, than those who can't ever get enough time behind the wheel for their enjoyment.

LXXVICOBRA, thank you for that detail explanation! This will be my first car that I will be able to show and understanding the ins and outs of the etiquette will help me feel like I fit in
Thanks again,
