Anyone else see this news release related to a bill a bill for low volume replica manufacturers?
Classic Car Comeback? - Velocity
The language appears to require license from the original manufacturer;
"manufactured under a license for the product configuration, trade dress, trademark or patent for the motor vehicle that is intended to be replicated from the original manufacturer, its successors or assignees, or current owner of such rights, unless there is a preponderance of evidence that such rights have been abandoned for at least three years.
So does that favor SPF on the GT40 over other replica manufacturers, with licensing from Safir? I would imagine Carroll Shelby Intl would have something to say on licensing Cobra replicas?
