If you look to the right of the pic you'll see Stak-Paks that were used to transport high value cars like Cadillacs. They were not transported on end like Vegas. The enclosed Stak Paks eliminated the vandalism and theft problems that normal auto racks, as shown in the Gremlin pic, had.
The Stak Paks weren't terribly successful due to cost/efficiency issues and were replaced by fully enclosed auto racks as you see today.
