Valerie,
When the Buggy Museum opened we had quite a few things that were on loan,
everything from carriages to doilies.  We have worked to convert a lot of
those long term loans to gifts. But we still have long term loans, mostly
vehicles.  A few of those we have talked to the donor about them becoming
gifts (eventually).  If you want to talk specifics, contact me off list.
