Era Replica Automobiles was a manufacturer based in New Britain, Connecticut, known for producing high-quality replica automobiles. The company distinguished itself in the American kit car industry by offering kits that were more authentic and better detailed than many of its competitors. This focus on quality attracted a clientele that sought realistic replicas of classic sports cars.
The company specialized in creating replicas of the iconic Cobra models, specifically the 427 S/C and 289 FIA variants. In addition to these, Era Replica Automobiles expanded its offerings to include replicas of the Ford GT-40 Mk I and Mk II. These replicas featured advanced engineering, including stainless-steel monocoque chassis and fabricated suspension systems. The Mk I models were equipped with 5000cc Ford engines, while the Mk II was designed to accommodate larger 7000cc engines.
In 1998, Era Replica Automobiles acquired the rights to manufacture Corvette Grand Sport replicas from D & D Manufacturing, further diversifying its product line and solidifying its reputation in the niche market of high-quality automotive replicas.
