Not that i've ever seen.

It's assume that a vintage car is a "hobby" car and the risk of damage is much higher if it's kept outside.

I suggest that you LIE.

It'll be a bitch to make a persue a claim when the adjustor shows up and there is no garage....

I tried for antique insurance in NYC and had to get photos of the car in its locked, secure strorage as my house had no garage (see avatar). The insurance guy told me that if I called in a claim it had better be from the side of the road somewhere and not in front of my house.
