Got any old fenders or bumpers lying around?
Want to make quick buck?

If you read the fine print, it says this: "WORKS FROM DIA ART FOUNDATION, SOLD TO ESTABLISH A FUND FOR ACQUISITIONS". So some patron with boqu cash made a purchase with intent to fund an art foundation project. No one, of course thinks it has any real value.

Now, some actual model A content:

This one is supposed to have been made from the fenders of a 1929 Ford:
