                I understand your dilemma. Years ago before I retired
                from the BMIHT Museum, the curator was having a similar
                difficulty keeping the many prototype cars in the
                reserve collection free from rust and damp. When not on
                display they were locked in a nearby barn. He solved the
                problem by buying things called CarCoons and I=E2=80=99m su=
re
                similar examples must surely exist in the US. The
                carcoon is an inflatable plastic tent into which you
                drive the car and seal it in. The shelter is waterproof
                and has a small, low voltage dehumidifier to ensure damp
                and moisture are not admitted. I think BMIHT bought
                about 12 examples and added to that number when the
                Jaguar Daimler collection arrived and before a new
                facility was built to house them. Have a look at <a href=3D=
