This can vary by circumstance and even by individual state law. Due to the moveable nature of a vehicle, most vehicle search warrants are issued for vehicles wihich are already in the custody, or safe-keeping of, or under the direct surveillance of law enforcement, and are meant for the seizure of evidence or contraband which are reasonably believed to be within, or on, the vehicle, at THAT time. OR - less so, for evidence or contraband in a vehicle which law enforcement has observed to be customarily used for such purposes in the past.
