This statement is correct and is in fact the same document I referenced in post #20 along with a link to the actual document.
The bullet points in post #20 were copied from that same final document and in fact state the need for licensing, albeit in the form of a manufacturer certification that the vehicles are being produced under license to the original manufacturer, it's successor, assignee, or current owner of the IP.
That still leaves us with a licensing log jam. The log jam, of course, provides an opportunity for Shelby to sell licenses at some price to replicate the vehicle. As we all know Shelby historically has not done this for a variety of reasons usually known only to Shelby.
By adjusting licensing fees, minimally the cost and if fees get too high, even the availability of replicas other than Shelby and maybe Superformance simply disappears. All that presupposes that Shelby would even offer licenses, which as we all know he has historically been reluctant (except for Superformance) to do.
Bottom line, no license then no replica under this law.
