Hi Jim,

I'm not sure how that business agreement works, but there is still that potential.

I remember Chrysler tried to sue Ghia for the similarities of one of Exner's Chrysler designs to the Type 1 VW Karmann Ghia.

Not sure why they didn't go after VW also in that same suit if they held all the rights.

I probably would have... and added Karmann to the suit for building it.

If you're going for the bux, name everybody!
