Interesting.....

I'm surprised that they won the suit. It seems to me that if one has practically any part of an original 300SL, they could build an entire car with available parts, either from MB or some other source - since they own one part. Also, any owner can alter any MB in any way that they want to after purchasing it new or used.

I suppose if some car company decided to manufacturer a knock-off, that would be a problem. Although, more then 1/2 of cars made now look like knock-offs - one needs to get up close to see the badges on most of them to determine the manufacturer. The 1950's was the last good decade for lots of variety.
