Amberson (United States) - AllCarIndex

Amberson Classics was an American automotive manufacturer based in Gadsden, Alabama, established around 1991. The company specialized in producing high-quality replicas of classic sports cars, with a notable focus on the Amberson SSK, a replica of the iconic Mercedes-Benz SSK. This model distinguished itself from other replicas by being crafted from an original SSK, ensuring a high level of accuracy in its design and engineering.

The Amberson SSK featured an all-Mercedes drivetrain, utilizing components from a single Mercedes sedan, including a 6-cylinder engine. The body panels of the vehicle were made from stainless steel, contributing to both durability and authenticity. Additionally, the car was equipped with 20-inch wheels and tires, which enhanced its visual appeal and stance, closely resembling the original model.

In addition to the SSK, Amberson Classics acquired the LASER 917 kit car project, which was a replica of the Porsche 917. This project was based on Volkswagen components or could be built on a custom chassis featuring a General Motors V6 engine, further showcasing the company's commitment to producing detailed replicas of classic racing cars.
