DKing,

That is an interesting story, and it does ring a faint bell.

I had a recollection of the "dream" but apparently not enough of the whole story to remember the "Crosley ownership of the name" part of the story.

My comment on the Crosley was from an "overheard" conversation from an individual who had done extensive research into Shelby's dealings.

Could be that I remember wrong, could be that the information was not fully discussed when I was within earshot.

Shelby owned the name, applied it to a very respectable car and later sold it to Ford, but my earlier comment was that it wasn't his original name to start with.

According to your presentation, he did the proper thing in attempting to secure the name for his own copyright, or what ever it would be called.
