Answer 1

My father and I each have a collection of older German cars- Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche. Mercedes will make you essentially any part you need for any of their classic models. It may cost $2500 for a tiny plastic trim cap, but they’ll make it for you. Ford is pretty goods about their older cars, and there’s many companies making very good reproduction parts.
