So what was the early 50's Autsin Healey 100 copied from? Or how about the 1951 SIATA 750 Sport Spider TIPO, which looks a LOT like a Cobra! Maybe THAT was copied from the early AC cars? Wait, I got it, Ferrari stole the design from Maserrati before they could launch their 1953 car shown here?

If Shelby had taken a '50s Austin Healey and made it into the Cobra, and an industry of replicas of that car emerged, would Shelby be able to sue over the 'trade dress' of a modified Austin Healey? NOPE. That's my point. I didn't say it was a copy of a Ferrari. I would say, however, that John Tojeiro would never sue over someone copying the AC Ace. You can decide for yourself as to why he wouldn't. |
