The Byers SR-100 is a highly sought-after 1950s American sports car kit. Designed by Jim Byers, it features a hand-laid fiberglass body built for a 100-inch wheelbase. Weighing just 125 lbs, the body was famously featured on the February 1957 cover of Road & Track, where publisher John Bond dubbed it "The World's Most Beautiful Sports Car".

I agree would have been much a better presentation without playing pretend

But actually, isn't that what every "kit" (re-creation, reproduction, reincarnation, replication, continuation, clone, copy, fake, etc.) car is about? ::)

Not in the 50s when this was created. This one does have some Pininfarina flavor but it's very much a homogenized euro look. In this era there were a lot of guys buying glass bodies to build sports racing cars for SCCA. 60s and 70s is when the cloning started. When I was writing for Kit Car we did a Cobra issue every year listing all the manufacturers. At that time 52 companies were making everything from bare body shells to completed rollers less engine/trans.

You lose a lot of timeline removing text. When I was at Kit Kar was the 80s.
I think it's known as a "long-term effect"! ::)
I'm just joshing with ya! ;D
