Interesting. So...with this logo principle in mind, you could build a Shelby clone and just not use the "Shelby" logos and still get away with the clone right? Or does this mean that Shelby will have no interest until they see how big the Shelby stuff will be. Im no expert but my gut feeling tells me that as the Shelby cars bring in more bucks, what we thought was not an infringement issue might become one. 02 cents jon Quoting James G Cowles <shelbyparts@msn.com>: - Ford and Shelby Licensing agreements are only for those parts that have a - logo involved.
