    75th Anniversary - 1/8 Scale 1903 Ford Model A - advice needed

    Hello all. I have an unusual question. My father has asked for assistance in selling his 75th Anniversary 1903 Ford Model A - 1/8 Scale. It belonged to my grandfather and is a fairly rare collectible. I've been struggling to find a proper outlet to sell it. I tried reaching out to some of the regular car auction houses (Mecum, etc) to see if they sell such items but with no response. There was a damaged one sold on an "Auctions America" website several years ago, but I'm not familiar with the site, so I'm not sure if that was a bit of a fluke. Ebay didn't seem like it would attract the right level of buyer in my mind, but perhaps I'm misjudging.

    Archived article from the Chicago Tribune when it was first released: http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1...fords-75-years

    Thoughts?

    I'd look at Sotherby's for a collectable like that.
