In my opinion that depends on who owns/runs the company. To some, the assets of a company DO go home at night. To others, we are all just Pokie and Gumbie. But to bdeutsch's point, in the last 20 years companies have finally figured out that everything they ever do is potentially of future value, so everything that can be is trademarked, copyrighted etc. But if in fact Shelby allowed his rights to lapse, as is being suggested, then he may find it hard to assert claims that he owns the Daytona Coupe and any commercially available likeness. Surely the FFR boys would be smart enough to not jump in the murky shark-infested waters twice and have sought legal advice before launching the "Type 65." I guess we'll all see.
