If the break even units to produce is 100 and the demand is 20 you ain’t going to tool up and make them.
Yeah, maybe. But there are a LOT of model As out there. Using the numbers you give, when the demand is in the multiple hundreds the 100 break even point seems like a no brainer. I have a 50's chev pickup. Tanks, fenders, lots of availability of new parts. Who ever thought that model A blocks would ever be reproduced? Yet, looks like they're coming down the line.
