Cobra's Creator: Carroll Shelby Speaks Out

[BT SNAKE]

Stan,
I got butter all over the key board now! You gotta admitt this is
pretty good stuff.
You know...I have all those old mags in a big carboard box and
I went through then the other day. I saw the article that Bill
posted and I have a couple others that are even better. But I refuse to post them because of the controversy.The thing is that the lawyers on both sides are fully aware of these articles. They have surely formulated their stradegy for the hearing. There won't be any stones left unturned when this is over. I truley believe that by spring there will be an end to it. All the current makers of replicas will continue. They will more than likely strike a settlement. It will be mainly to compensate from here forward for the rights to produce the likeness of the roadster. All prior to that are not included. Kinda like what Harley Davidson did to
the Japanese bike makers on the unfair trade practices. This was enough to allow Harley to catch up and or be competitive.
I know ,I know it ain't the same but it really is in a way.
Now for me its not worth getting heated over because its out of our hands and what will be will be. You can only hope for an agreement that works for both sides. I think it will.
