..that the way CS had it set up was that SAI was licensed by Shelby Automobiles Inc. to use the "trade dress, etc." of the car and Carroll Shelby Licensing licensed the trademarks to SAI (but not the Cobra mark that Ford owns). If he pulls these from SAI Venture has a company with no real "Shelby" products.
Note that the Ginseng deal is with Shelby AUTOMOBILES Inc., not SAI.
I recall that Shelby Automobiles Inc. was the company set up back in the 80's to do the Chrysler cars, these came from Shelby Automobiles, not Shelby American. OL' CS has had a bunch of corporations and layers of intertwined structures for years. He may be willing to "write-off" SAI and let Venture dangle with it and the Series 1.
Just my best guess.....
