Re: putting D in Museum - advice?

When making a deal with a museum generally you can get them to cover 
the car with their insurance. It is only for property damage not 
liability so they can't drive the car. I would also put that into the 
agreement, that it can't be driven and if they want to lend it out to 
any other museums, films, commercials, etc they must get your 
permission first. Include that the battery must be removed and all 
fuel. Get yourself named as additional insured on their policy and get 
an insurance certificate to that effect. You may have to agree to a 
minimum period of time (like 1 year) that it can stay in the museum. 
You get free storage and insurance, they get inventory to draw 
customers in to pay admission. When picking up the car after the tour 
is over they must restore all systems like put some gas in it and a 
charged-up battery and repair any missing or damaged parts, keys etc. 
When first bringing in the car document condition so they can't say 
you brought the car in damaged. You must get all of this in writing. 
Be careful as some museums masquarade as car dealers. They will tell 
you that the car can be sold for an outragous price but you find out 
in the fine print of your agreement the commission is equally 
outragous and they don't need your permission to sell the car!
