Having driven my dad's 1955 Speedster with 3.5" wide bias ply tires and 4 wheel drum brakes, it would seem hard to believe a quality replica could be any less safe than his genuine one

With Speedster prices climbing safely into the 6 figures, having a replica/kit car for $20K that approximates the feel/charm/sexiness is a neat thing. BECK makes perhaps the best of the replicars because he DOESN'T use a VW chassis but makes his own so the dimensions are true to the original models.
