There is no Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy. Museums are a business and your gifts to them are theirs to use or sell as they see fit. I've been to the auctions at Henry Ford's Museum where they've been getting rid of their cars to the highest bidder. And Crawford in Cleveland has always been selling of their donated cars. Crawford also had parties where their guest has taken the cars for the day. One over heated and the fool using the car poured water over the over heated engine and cracked it. Myself, if I was to give any of my cars to a museum it would be to AACA. But I am not naive to believe that they would keep it for others to enjoy till the end of days.
