She did lose a case a few years ago. I'm no lawyer, but the difference I see is that Disney, the makers of the movie, state that she is the legitimate owner of the trademark name. I don't believe they were involved in the original case and that may have been why she lost. I think that, as far as trademark rights go, Disney is much more versed in it than any of the Shelby industries people. I amy be wrong. I do remember some blacklight poster from the 60s/70s that depicted an assortment of Disney characters having an orgy, Disney sued under trademark infringement and now those posters are probably very valuable. If any are left.
Since the original creator as well as the makers of the new movie, and I would imagine the builders of the "Eleanor", are involved in the same action, it may play out differently now. Kind of like Shelby with the Cobra name, he couldn't win because Ford owned the name. When they became partners in that action, it was a different case.
