Why not declare that upon the death of "an old driver" his corpse
be burned in a funeral pyre along with all the race cars he drove
(ala a viking cheiftain)?
This would save valuable museum space which could be used to
shelter the homeless. It would also eliminate all those nasty
speculators who drive the prices of cars beyond the means of we
humble few who really would enjoy owning them...:OP
