Ok I admit I am an ignorant red neck hillbilly and legal words and mumbo jumbo confuse and confound me. So do not try to dice my words too carefully.

So back in the 1960's a company of some type, that was owned or controlled by Mr Shelby, existed. I think the name was Shelby American. They completed the assembly of a car by putting a Ford drive train into a British car. Then the cars were sold at Ford dealerships - at least some were, right?

By the 1970's these cars were no longer made. Question: Did that company (that final assembled these cars) continue to exist? If so, did it do something else or did it only exist on paper?

Sometime later Shelby sold turn key minus cars that resembled the 1960's cars. Is this company the same exact company from the 1960's or is it a different company?
