The Ford Barn

Hi all, my father has been collecting 1940 Ford's for probably 40 years at this point. He's 81 years old and not doing well, so I'm preparing to help my mom liquidate his cars and parts. We're located in the upper midwest, and was thinking of engaging Yvonne Vanderbrink to sell everything at auction. He has bins and bins of carefully catalogued parts, he really focused on the smaller items like Columbia parts, correct fog lights, switches, knobs, etc. Lots of NOS stuff and the used stuff is very nice. I realize the market for these parts is way down vs 15-20 years ago, curious if anyone has any other suggestions? Trying to take pictures, descriptions, etc of all his parts would take several lifetimes, so I'd rather not go down that road.
