I've never been to a National so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. But as someone who has managed attending corporate trade shows for a living before, the prime space is almost always right up front or in the middle. My guess is that those corporate guys are spending big money to be in that space and would balk at paying the same price to be sent to the outer edge. So it becomes a matter of finding other dealers to pay that much to be in that spot.
Again, no idea how it works at the National, but that's the way it is at other types of trade shows.
I think the idea of grouping dealers by vintage/modern is a great idea, BTW. Not sure what you do with the folks that do both, but maybe that'd be a separate area.
