Re: Can old brands be revived?

The problem with brand revival is that the revivals thus far are predominately just clones of some modern production and revived in name only or minor motif.

Possible exceptions are Mustang, T'bird (sports car version) and maybe, as someone already metioned the Avanti.

Early COrd reproduction ca. 1965 was a good effort but smaller than original and Corvair powered.

I beleive that so called revivals are nothing more than an attempt to capitalize from a legend rather than a deliberate attempt at reproduction.

However, one mite consider such models as tri-5 chevies, Indian, Cushman, Model A's among a few others as genuine attepts at revival. Buy ALL the parts from a supplier book and put one togeher yourself.
