They really dig deep into obscurity to find some of their subjects.

Is there an American dealer for Autocult?

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.

Or maybe they think the rich history of the automobile is worth celebrating in our scale.

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.
