Continuation Cars

I agree Evan, but this is not the case. I can't see where Shelby has a leg to stand on here. It is at best a frivilous suit and I would expect FFR to counter sue on those grounds.

As to the shape of the Coupe, in a previous settlement on this issue Shelby agreed to dismiss any future claims as it concerns FFR and the "shape" of their replica "Coupe". I would expect this portion of the suit to be dismissed easily as a result.

EDIT: Look I don't like or want to be a Shelby or SPF "basher". But I don't want to bury the truth, as I see it either. I have, through out my adult career made choices as to who I would like to do business with. Working for them, with them, investing with them, whatever. Along the way I've had to make some tough decisions, "Are these the people/person I want to support, to do business with?" We will all draw that line somewhere with somebody. Just don't lie to YOURSELF to justify entering a partnership that you know in your heart doesn't feel right.

So, Ernie, let me ask you this. If Shelby found a way to argue (for his gain) the intellectual property rights on the Cobra design, its naming conventions, etc. and reigned in every copycat manufacturer out there, does that mean that you wouldn't own a Cobra because he wasn't playing nice? Don't beat up the guy (in this case, SPF) that decided to back away from a gun fight because they didn't want to unload their war chest on lawyers and decided to rather unload the same war chest on growing their business. Smart? Arguably. Cunning? Absolutely. Strategic? The jury is still out.
