Auto Appraisal Group
National collector-car appraisal company with agents across the country; long-established, expert-witness experience.
The professional bodies, certification organizations, and networks an owner can go through to reach a credentialed collector-car appraiser — starting in the US and expanding worldwide. Each links to the organization’s own site and, where offered, its find-an-appraiser directory.
Organizations only — Parclines lists professional bodies, never an individual’s personal contact details. Parclines is independent: no organization pays to appear, and inclusion is not an endorsement of any member.
