With regards to putting the car inside an enclosed trailer your biggest 
problem would probably be the thing shifting or rolling out the back. You 
would definitely have to chock the wheels, and apply brake. Some trailers 
have d rings mounted in the floor to allow tie down of cargo. Perhaps you 
could secure it that way with a bunch of nylon straps with the ratcheting 
winch thing on them. I imagine the idea would be to hold the car down. Some 
trailers have notches in the walls to hold 2 x 4s to prevent shifting. 
Perhaps you could attach a 2 x 4 that would fit in those notches (parallel 
to the axle) to a piece of plywood with chocks screwed onto it that the car 
would roll onto. It might look like...
