There's a right and wrong. And that's wrong. A line was crossed IMO.

And I doubt that anyone who affixes a repro VIN plate to their replica anything gets the owner's approval. As an owner, why would you agree? But first you would have to locate the real CSX owner and that's nearly impossible in our society where privacy is priority.

It's a well known fact that many of the world's finest art galleries display copies of fine artworks, interspersed with originals. The copies are not labeled as such. No one is harmed from this practice. Would you say they "crossed a line" or committed some sort of fraud by doing this? At the most, there is, occasionally, a very savvy art expert that can tell the difference and is a bit disappointed.

First, yes, it's wrong to sell a copy without labeling as such. Second, this ERA has a label which identifies it as CSX3026. Lastly, how do you know no one is harmed with this art gallery practice? Are you able to monitor each one for fraudulent practices?

Ok I bet the tile states what the car is and as for not locating the owner it seems several people knew exactly which car it was and who owned it these cars are monitored and watched better than any criminal I have ever seen. But we all have our opinion's.
