I once found a '40 deluxe coupe stored in an old shed on a farm about 80 miles north of where I live. Old woman lived on the place and would not sell as it had belonged to her son who died in a crop spraying accident years before. She was saving it for a 12 year old grandson. I said thank you, I understand, and left. Not a month later I see the car being driven down the street in my town with some highschool kid behind the wheel
After some detective work I found out a grand daughter and her boy friend had come up to visit grandma and spotted the car, talked the old lady into selling it to the kid and the rest is history.
