BTW- why are so many of the estimates so far off?

32 B400 is worth quite a bit more, as is the towncar...........

They like to pull you in with a low estimate.
Most are on no reserve I seem to remember.

Fairly certain the town car is a modern recreation and not original. The Town Car Delivery is definitely a recreation tribute.

Yup, both the Town Car and Town Car delivery are more recent creations.....as are unfortunately many of the "interesting" vehicles in the museum (Boat-Tail Roadster, Ice Cream Truck, Jail Truck/Fire Truck, etc, etc, etc...). Several of the lot descriptions seem to be bordering on "fake news".....so be sure to fact check before putting down your hard earned cash :eek:

Here are some photos of a couple of the more interesting fantasy Model A's (from the Bonhams auction website):

Some of these Model A's were offered for sale in their 2014 auction but were no-sales and were also offered for sale for several years on the museum web site as well.
