Reference, Shelby "authorized" to use the name "Cobra".

This is a "gray area" I think, accurate and at the same time, not true?

It's more like Ford's choice to not make an "issue" over it with Shelby? Shelby does not install the classic Cobra emblem on his cars. That may be done "down the street", after you get it home or whatever.

In my oinion that does not "take away" from the fact that the car he makes IS in fact a REAL modern day Shelby Cobra. He is using the SAME techniques that he used in the 60's. "Out sourcing", "contracting", "supervising", "hiring the right people". He IS the "band leader", he IS "Shelby". His cars are "REAL"! Anything else, no matter how good or bad, is a "replica".
