I believe the Shay Built Model A used recent OHV Ford 4 cylinder engines , Ford suspension parts, Ford auto transmissions i.e. the use of components. The vehicle examples cited were in the AACA Magazine article which introduced the SGVC.
Technically, the AACA is referring to the vehicles in the SGVC as a display class.
Would be interesting if another replica manufacturer that assembles the entire vehicle , not sold in parts to a builder or private party, submits their documentation.

The Shay Model A was sold through Ford dealers in fact. Yes, they used 'components' as the others did but they were sold as complete cars. The 4000 Cobras are sold as 'rollers', any engine can be installed by anyone.
I wonder if AACA is confused on the issue?
