Flat bed rates one way in my area are about $75. This comes along with the price of owning an antique car.

Exactly ...
I get the same thing occasionally.
I just dropped off this 2004 Porsche GT3 Track Car in Austin, TX
that I picked up in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
I asked for an image of the car before I picked it up to determine
if it could be loaded into my car hauler trailer.
The Buyer didn't send me an image.
Some cars are so low they need ro be driven onto a level
loading ramp gate of a multi car enclosed semi trailer
to load and unload - the drawback is you won't get direct
transport from pick up to drop off - your car will be transferred
between trailers - driven - stored in outside yards.
The Porsche has a non-removable spoiler that is just about
level with grade at the front center and where the spoiler
meets the front tires.
I had to call a rollback to load it in my trailer at pick up
which took another couple hours - even then the driver was
reluctant to do it because the car was so low.
At drop off - it took 3 hours to unload - even though I texted
in advance telling the Buyer he needed to line up a rollback.
When the Porsche was unloaded - the Buyer apologized.
