Ron, I didn't know you got a Coupe!!! You've got to bring it to Snakes-to-the-Lakes!!!!

Are you and/or Curtis going up this year???? I'd like to take a peek at your Coupe.

With all the talk about correct look or prettier looks, I think FFR is just saying it's not exact but FFR's in any of their models have never "looked" like the original things they replicate, which is fine. It's just a method to avoid legal issues with CS et-al.

So long as we all understand the definitions of "original" v.s. "authentic" which gets a lot of panties up in a bunch, I think it's clear that even a "Brock Coupe" isn't an original from the 60's. Just an original based on the signature on a contract... I'd almost classify them as a "contiuation" execpt they're not since Peter has a hand in redesigning some aspects of it. I think SPF SHOULD reconsider calling it a "Brock Coupe" ; I think any owner should too. If Peter has no problem in that (could be why SPF isn't using it?) then saying "this is an original Brock Coupe" is a dead-on accurate statement.

I'm glad "vette" made his decision. I think he'll enjoy it. It would be nice to get a follow-up on the paddle shifters.
