What retro looked like in 1960

[Richard Bartrop]

Back in the day, there was a demand for cars from the dawn of the 20th Century, and an industry devoted to filling that need.

Sounds like the equivalent of fiberglass kit cars of the 70s and steel reproduction cars today.

Very interesting read.

Very interesting indeed!

Interesting stuff.  Thank you Richard.  I wonder what ever happened to all of those re-pop cars?  I remember building the 1904 Merry Oldsmobile model when I was a kid.  I don't know what company produced it though.

You see them for sale from time to time at auction. I just never knew the history. Neat!

Very cool. Thanks.
