There should be a stamp or mark on it some where who built it.

My '59 ElCaminos original owner was a wood-modeler for Ford, they created full size concept variations of the next production run of vehicles to see how they would look before the got approval to have the die-sets made to start stamping sheet metal.
This is a pro-level model in my option, either for proposing a new cooler design to a Coke executive, or just exploring new designs in coolers...the details are superb... I'd wouldn't be surprised it would goes for over $125K, these were always supposed to be destroyed afterwards, a very rare survivor. I wouldn't let Chip & Dale anywhere near this restoration, let alone a cigar-box. or it might end up turning into a wooden Cavalier 64 ( inside joke) I'd take it to a high level professional furniture preservationist if there is such a being.
