Badges Gone Wild.
The Creative Replicar Decoration Award goes to... this beauty.
Note the generous use of coach builder badges. There's a Reutter badge (in the typical spot ) and a Glaser badge on the door post and a Pre-A Reutter badge on the rear panel to the right of the license. And how 'bout the Bosch horn tag riveted to the rear panel to the left of the shine-up light! Did I miss any?

But you have to admit it is really cute. A guy in neighborhood has a replica 59 convertible D with VW power setup. It is cream colored with tan interior and it is a beauty even if it is a replica.
Last year someone actually entered a Speedster replica in the local PCA club concourse. Needless to say, my Fast Frieda was a bit miffed about it.

Paint it flat black, add some Mexican blanket seat covers, mebbe a "Little Bastard" graphic on the back... it's a keeper.
Love the ad copy. The Glaser AND Ruetter badges must add mojo.
