Bill In Congress Would Legally Allow For Low-volume Replica Cars

[Thomas Maule]

this could be interesting .... link to where much more info is available

"Proposed legislation in the House of Representatives would create a new category of regulations for low-volume automakers – specifically those building replicas of classic automobiles. Current regulations, which hold small-scale manufacturers to the same standards as mass producers, mean that these low-volume automakers are forced to sell their products as kits, but the new category would allow them to offer turn-key vehicles, with no further assembly required on the part of the buyer."

I can see a market for replicas of classic automobiles .... the size of the market would be heavily impacted by cost .... I know that I'd be much more interested in buying a completed classic than I would a kit

call me crazy, but I also see some oprotunities for DMC motors, the legacy of delorian, which is currently making brand new delorians, last I checked...

I would not mind a company making the 1969 Fiat Abarth 2000 in small numbers.

That was one of my most prized Matchbox cars. I had it in Silver.
