Over the years i've ran into the following example several times among different badges:

I know of a 37 Buick that has been kept in a garage since 1983 (27 years). I know it's still there because i talk to the owner on occasion from time to time about other bussiness. He won't sell it. Since it is local i am fairly certain that only his son i and the owner are the only people that know about it. THis is based on other incidences that i won't go into. He won't sell it and won't do anything with it. It's a fairly nice car.

Ditto for other incidences of vintage tin such as an L29, Cushmans ( many), HD's, Indians, a 56 Olds and a somewhat recent 41 pACKARD convert/coupe among others.

There are also situations where collectibles are kept secret from family members, especialy wives and girl friends. Mostly includes guns, Motorcycles. AND a few cars. Usualy kept out and away from view and for a long time.
