No, I think what the courts proved is that the shape/trade dress is now in the public domain.

The name, logo and rights to use the name are protected and proprietary.

Like I said, "most" would IMHO rather have a Shelby Cobra. To some owning a Shelby Cobra that has value, REAL or imagined.

Maybe their new ad campaign will read "Wouldn't you REALly rather have a "Shelby"?
