My post was not meant as a personal attack, however, my writing style does take getting used to, so I'll publiclly apologize if I bent your nose out of place with my personal opion based on what you have written to date. As for you view on I.P. (Intellectual Property) rights, again, Shelby abandoned (his words of old come back to haunt him now) the Cobra, the Shelby Mustang, and anything to do with either/or back in 1972 (again his words on record, not mine). As such, he lost the lawsuit in regards to trade dress, as such there is no license agreement needed by any manufacturer of a like and kind shape. Again as you put it, this is not opinion but case law. I shall not get in to a pissing match with you as it does neither of us any good. You do not know me, I do not know you (or do we seeing that we have been around these cars for as long as we have), let's leave it as a civil disagreement and leave it at that.
Again, here is wishing you well.
Sincerely,
Bill S.
