I suspect this issue was addressed before the purchase of the assets from the SEC. According to publicly available info on the web, Scranton Mfg is hardly a new small company based on revenues, number of employees and length of time in business. And unlike the prior Arlington, TX-based Hurricane, they actually have more than one guy who can weld.

No doubt if Ole What's His Name prevails in the FFR matter, several replica makers will have to face the music. In the meantime, the engineers at Hurricane are already at work interfacing with existing owners and commencing with building an initial run of cars. Exciting times.

Fact, FoMoCo OWNS the name COBRA, gives permission to Shelby to use it. If you don't protect your trademarks ,you lose them. That being said, why subject your new endevor to litigation when you have NO rite to the name COBRA.

or maybe the new owners do not know about the pass history of Cobra law suits

If they read our comments and make the appropriate changes, they may avoid a law suit

they may know and everything is just fine the way it is.

Um, wasn't the topic supposed to be exciting news about a 'new' company not lawsuit litigation?

Thanks Paul, know you are excited
