I had my '78 MGB shipped from Washington on an open carrier.

My only complaint was that the arranging agent dropped out of the loop 
after it was shipped, meaning I probably could have contracted directly 
with the shipping company for less.

But it's bullsh*t that it needs to be closed.  IMHO, unless it's a very 
valuable model, ship it open (reasons to not would be to avoid oil dripping 
from cars above).  The car fit fine on the trailer.
