VW Beetle-based Cord replica built by Don, Ed and Henry Helmrich from the late 60s to the early 80s

Are you sure ?

Here's a screen capture of the information I've found on a very well-known and usually reliable website. I would be VERY surprised if there was two different amateurish home-made Cord replicas that look exactly the same to the tiniest detail.

Yes, I'm sure. This car was designed by Helmrich but... I'm talking about other manufacturer. I give you a hint.

This is what I don't understand. Helmrich was not a brand, it was 3 inexperienced guys from the same family who home-built an amateurish Cord replica. They admittedly built one, destroyed the mould and the second body, so how could another strictly identical car have been built by another entity ? Isn't it rather the same car that was advertised as something else by its next owner ? Helmrich said that it was "finished" by the guy who bought it.

NOT! Once again I repeat for you. I asked for  "Name of car ,manufacturer and year" from THIS PHOTO!!! You have not guessed.

Feel the difference in question. If I was interested in the author's name then the question would be: Who was the designer and what year? Do not cheat.

Steady on here.
We don't want accusations of cheating without any indication or proof of such.
Let's just say something has been lost in translation as we know English is not the main language for either of you.

No problem! I was not blaming the Oko of fraud! I mean "dodge").

In any case, it's just a game.

I give another hint that no one be offended. This is a rare American manufacturer with model range from different old kit car builders.
