The term I wouldn't have a problem with would be, "reproduction". Since isn't that what it is? However my thinking, the powers that be, Shelby American? May have discussed it and thinking it would have some negatives. I'm sure you've seen some manufacture of an item, what ever it be, loosely use the word. So they came up with a esoteric name, continuation. I like continuation better than genuine or worse, real! Reproduction also sounds too............ common!
So the SAAC uses genuine and SA uses continuation. Out of the three, genuine, continuation and reproduction. When purchasing any product/widget or say a statue. In your view which denotes a negative image more?
However reproduction should not be viewed negatively in a perfect world.
Real 1, Jim sure did nail it! Right here he said,
"Most people on the street when they ask me "is it real?" are probably really asking: "is it original?" Of course, the answer from me is no." Damn you step in it so often.
