I have attended several car shows anually and I believe that the question of what chassis it is built on qualifies as the third most asked question in Cobra Realm.

I would always take the time to describe the purpose built chassis and try to educate the individual on the modern replica cars as opposed to the early kit cars that did attach to VW floor pans.

Most of the time the discussion was appreciated.

There are always some who want to try to start out on common ground, so they make a comment similar to the one about the VW and Corvair.

The rest is up to the individual. Does he really care about your car? Is he just making conversation to please his new squeeze? Is he really in the dark?

Give him the chance to show that if he really knew you, (and may be something about cars) he would know better than to even ask that kind of question.
