For probably thirty years this model airplane has been displayed on a shelf in our home. Marching orders are to thin out the bric-a-brac, so I'm trying to find it a worthy home.
It's a model of a Douglas C-132, a huge military transport project that got to the mock-up stage in the late 1950s, then was canceled. Had it been built it would have been the largest US transport up until the C-5.
This appears to be a model made for Douglas corporate use. It is heavy, chrome-plated metal, 10" wingspan, and weighs about 2-1/2 pounds. It could use some polish but is otherwise in excellent condition. I got it at a garage sale; I hate to see it leave the same way.
Our local air museum is not interested in it. Any ideas for a museum or collection that might want it?
