OEM,NOS,NORS, is specifically understood. Maybe a new requirement should be an acc for UNbranded replacement parts of UNknown origin: URUO. No????

I like the word "vintage" in many ads. Whats does it mean? In a lot of cases they are just selling modern made in communist China crap with an old nostalgic look.

Ok. I see your point but raise u a question:
WHAt is it called???? A Retrospective Production or what??? I don;t think there is a ny genearly accepted, widely used not commonly understood word to describe any modern representations of historic artifacts other than grouping them into repops. Enlighten me.

Well, for one, these thermometers. They're not a reproduction of ANYTHING, but simply a new work - someone's embodiement of nostalgia, at best.

I might go so far to agree that someone found dies that were used many decades ago for other thermometers, but that still doesn't make these a "repro".

Joel, just you wait when I trick BigKev into giving his permission to outline the far eastern car history.

Hmmmmm. can u give some examples of Packard parts that are made from original tooling???? I assume 'original tooling" means original FACTORY tooling as was produced by PMCC during PMCC production years. That 'original tooling' is NOT an interpretation on a par with "Original Artists" in the music world.

There are probably examples of Chev or AMC parts from OEM tooling but i really doubt that there is any Packard oem tooling extant. But even using oem tooling begs the question (in somecases) of production controls.

I have it on good authority that the chrome-plated, adjustable type, license plate frame, SP50048, offered by Mid-Atlantic Packards back in the 1990s was a new run from original tooling still in possession of the original supplier, Gerity. You'll find that name cast into many other die-cast parts used on these V8s - even other brands of the day. The company was still in business, making bathroom accessories.

About 20 years ago, the '56 Clipper tail light lenses were re-run by a vendor in South Bend Indiana from original tooling. The color looked a bit off to me - until they were installed in the tail light body.

I'll invite ohers, including Fred Kanter, to expand on such offerings.
