The basic facts are that Auto Resolutions, the manufacturer of the Street Beasts line of Replicars, is not Classic Motor Carriages in any shape, manner, or form. Whatever problems Classic Motor Carriages had should not be a reflection of Auto Resolutions. In the "go-go" Eighties, many companies flourished, prospered, and had growth problems. It is my understanding that CMC was one of those companies that simply oversold what it could not produce. Auto Resolutions, a.k.a. Street Beasts, is a major player in the hot-rod Replicar industry. Street Beasts serves customers from every profession and ethnicity in America. American ideology proves that Americans love motors, machines, and cars. Street Beasts' current product line consists of a '34 coupe, '33 Vicky, '34 cabriolet roadster, '41 Willys coupe, and three versions of the Cobra (all Ford replicas). Auto Resolutions/Street Beasts has 60 people on its management, sales support, and production staff. We are very proud of who we are and what we do. Every potential customer contacts our company of his or her own volition. Thus from the tens of thousands of people who inquire about our product this year, to the hundreds of satisfied customers, to the thousands of happy Street Beasts owners across North America and our dedicated employees, Miami should be proud to have a leader in the hot-rod industry. The story does not address our full-support system, including a parts department, technical support for every customer, and a nationwide network of factory-certified builders. This is a company striving to improve its service and quality of product every day of the year. Ms. Blake should have realized that history does not always repeat itself. Hans Meijer, CEO Auto Resolutions Inc. /Street Beasts Miami
