Had they used a fiberglass replica, anyone who knows anything about the original Shelby Cobras would have known that the one crushed in IronMan was a "fake" when they saw the fiberglass shatter. At least, with the Kirkham being a metal replica, it lent an air of credibility to the premise that Tony Stark had more money than sense !

The original IronMan is one of my favorite movies, the sequel not so much .
