Bob, the model is large, comparable to the size of the 1930 Cadillac ...

it was actually offered for sale here with starting bid of $500 but there were no takers. At that time I did not know who the seller was or what this model was. Later I had an opportunity to buy it along with another large scale prototype that I have shown here before. This highboy was labeled 1:12 but I think it is 1:8, it is huge. It is much less refined than the Chevy, so I do not believe it was used for marketing photos.
