Though pretty much almost every single car "museum" out there does the same.
Now the thing about Linq's museum is that the do also have an exchange program with the National Automobile Museum in Reno, NV. In the late 80's-early 90's the gold AmEx car was on loan to the collection when it was under IP's ownership. Granted, yes. They will occasionally purge vehicles at auction, as I found out when I arrived literally 1 day too late to purchase a Yugo Cabrillo. But I don't think it'll be going anywhere soon, like the car in Laughlin (which when I can afford it after we get a house, I intend on buying that particular car) that has been sitting down there for at least 2 decades, and has indeed been for sale all this time.
