You also need to go back and "null and void" your above strained "analysis" (you really struggled with this one didn't you. Must have been painful ) which is laced with "assumptions", "I don't know" and statements of the obvious such as the gem that a watch is not a car.
Please explain to us how a gap in manufacturing "null and voids" the analogy. If Tom Kirkham shut production down and decided to manufacture duck decoys for 10 years and then decided to come back and restart Kirkham with new employees now having to source parts and components from new sources and use German aluminum and starting making Kirkham Cobras again would they not be real Kirkham Cobras?
Also, also to follow your logic (if we can call it that) new Indian Motorcycles are not Indian Motorcycles just the originals from 50 years ago?
The higher price that people will pay more for the older classic ones is based on rarity and the fact they are part of a set definite pool. People also pay more for new Rolexs from Rolex than fake Rolexs from the guy on the street in NYC don't they. People also pay more for current series Shelby Cobras from SAI then they pay for an LA Exotic, Unique etc.. that are fake Shelby Cobras.
Maybe you need to stop "squinting your eyes so hard" and open them.  |
Evan, I have to keep repeating myself, because your analogies don't work, whether Rolexes, Kirkhams, Indian Motorcycles or whatever. What's the next analogy?
What's really funny is that your analogy using the Kirkham, is that it's a Cobra replica. So, David would be making replicas of replicas.
After a roughly 30-year gap in its "lineage", using completely different materials, produced by different employees and by a different company, but using the same name, no squinting is needed, it's a replica. Kirkham, Rolex, Indian, whatever.
Shelby is making replicas. There's a reference to it in the SAAC World Registry. Shelby referenced it in the Registry, calling them "true replicas." But for marketing purposes came up with "Continuation Series."
