[Tigers] Carroll Shelby Loses Trademark Fight Over Cobra's Design

[Tom Parker]

He's still making Cobras, in case you haven't looked at Shelby Automotive.
He'll sell a fiberglass or aluminum skinned version to you if you want to
pay the premium.

What I like about the Tiger is there is no true "replica" market (unless you
count "Algers"). So we know how many there are. Cobras and Cobra look-alikes
are growing in numbers (if you want to include Shelby's new cars as
"Cobras"), Factory Five has sold over 7,000 roadsters (they don't call them
"Cobras"), which equals the total number of Tigers made. That's just one
company.
