I wish a lot of you guys would read the laws. Ford does not want to go after these companies that have been brand loyal for years. Ford ,by law, has to protect its people who hold stock or invest with the company. And by law, these companies that use the Ford and Mustang names do not have legal rights to use them. Ford did try to work with some of them but most of the companies were too thick headed to work with Ford. These companies now complain because they have spent more on lawyers than the actual settlement would have been. One case was a company that has been in business for quite some time that Ford knew was a big restoration source for Mustang owners. Ford offered less a deal that the owner paid less than 1% of a certain amount and would become official Ford parts distributor but the owner refused. So, back off of Ford cause they are being forced by the law so they are not in any more problems than what they are in already. Some of you need to learn a bit more before blaming someone and blasting off e-mails to a company that really does value your loyalty. Why do you think it has taken so long for Ford to do this? Cause they did not want to in the first place. There was no real profit to be mad. All this is is a battle over trademarks and parts companies not wanting to comply.
