They really dig deep into obscurity to find some of their subjects.
Is there an American dealer for Autocult?
Check your phone Dick - just texted.
Thanks Harv, I just replied. I am going through the distributor.
Owner is a personal friend.
Some manufacturers must think showroom stock road cars are beneath them
Or perhaps having no need to pay for copyright permission?
That's probably it. Licensing can be tedious and very expensive.

I'll bet you hit the nail on the head.

Yes, I own their 1903 Panhard-Levasser. Superb rendition. Goes well with my Neo 1907 RR Silver Ghost
Licensing generally runs about $7 per model.
In some cases it is time-consuming, depending on the manufacturer. Many European based companies choose to bypass the procedure. I do know that Brooklin and Minichamps do licensing.
