For U.S. Show Participants:

Bring your car ownership and be prepared to say your car will not be sold in Canada.  Trailers should be registered and licensed in your name or you should have an authorization letter to haul the trailer on someone else's behalf.  Carry proof of insurance for your show vehicle.  State that you are showing your vehicle(s) at the Willistead Classic Concours d'Elegance and have a copy of your registration form.  If you have your car in the trailer, the customs officer may want to see in the trailer (So you may want to pack lightly).
