Enclosed Collector Car Transport: Rochester, NY to Lexington, KY

A1 Auto Transport was contracted to provide enclosed vehicle shipping for a high-value collector car from Rochester, New York to Lexington, Kentucky. The shipment required a fully enclosed trailer to protect the vehicle from weather, debris, and road exposure during its 584-mile journey.

Challenge

The vehicle — a restored 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS — was to be delivered in showroom condition for an upcoming auto show in Lexington. With a narrow 48-hour delivery window, any delay or damage could result in the car missing its event debut. The client also requested zero exposure to elements, ruling out soft-sided trailers.

Solution

A1 Auto Transport assigned a hard-side enclosed trailer with hydraulic lift gates for low-clearance loading. The Camaro was carefully secured using soft tie-downs and placed on the upper deck to prevent contact with any other cargo. A1’s logistics team planned a direct route via I-90 W and I-75 S and enabled full GPS tracking for the client. Delivery was coordinated to meet a fixed unload window at the show site.

Result: The vehicle was delivered on time, spotless, and event-ready — impressing both the customer and the dealership sponsoring the show.
