Newbies?

This time of year, Wisconsin and California are somewhat close in temperature and humidity. What you go through along the way won't really matter.
As has been said, the amp can go in the trunk. Just make sure it can't fall over and nothing can fall on it that will go through the speaker or break a knob off, etc...
The guitars will be fine. They don't need to be air conditioned, or not air conditioned. Hell, there are hundreds of bands touring the US with all the equipment bouncing around in a uhaul trailer. Everything will be ok in your car. The trip through Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska and Iowa Isn't going to be full of potholes, land mines, ice storms or giant aliens attempting to ruin your instruments. It will.simply be mind-numbingly boring once you get into Nebraska.
I had a 62 strat that nosedived off a 4 foot stage onto a hard floor. Not a bit of damage and still in tune.
Those old fenders are pretty durable.
