Answer
1) There's no question here.

2) There are several hundred American-made vintage cars; I can't list them all here.

3) A- very aware of it.  I worked for a man that has two of them.

4) All three I would rate a 5.

5) A- high, but only among people that are familiar with the vehicle.  Names like Packard and Duesenberg are far more well-known.

6) B- might be interested.

7) The target audience for high-end vehicles is a young group today, and they have no idea what a Pierce-Arrow is, so it has little value to them.  I can't imagine launching a new car called the Pierce-Arrow and trying to compete with Mercedes, Maybach, Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

8) No, but it's been tried several times before, without success.

9) No.
