Reminds me of the time my dad came across an ad in Hemming's Motor News for a 1942 Ford Business Coupe with only 42 miles on it. Well preserved and drivable. I had the same thought as Carl, you wouldn't want to drive it and add any miles. My dad's opinion was a complete opposite - "Are you kidding? It'd be like buying a brand-new car and driving it off the lot. I'd take it everywhere!"
