I understand your dilemma. Years ago before I retired from the BMIHT Museum=
, the curator was having a similar difficulty keeping the many prototype ca=
rs in the reserve collection free from rust and damp. When not on display t=
hey were locked in a nearby barn. He solved the problem by buying things ca=
lled CarCoons and I=E2=80=99m sure similar examples must surely exist in th=
e US. The carcoon is an inflatable plastic tent into which you drive the ca=
r and seal it in. The shelter is waterproof and has a small, low voltage de=
humidifier to ensure damp and moisture are not admitted. I think BMIHT boug=
ht about 12 examples and added to that number when the Jaguar Daimler colle=
ction arrived and before a new facility was built to house them. Have a loo=
