PM me on the where and how-to post the pics. I could have them up in a few days. Quality kinda sucks, being in the museum and all.

how hilarious would it be if someone paid a production company to rebuild one of these concept cars that GM destroyed. obviously its a shait load of money, but just the idea of rolling into a car show with a long since deal concept would be hilarious.

Why? Most of them weren't copyrighted. As far as GM is concerned, they didn't exist.

so lets say mitsubishi "steals" the design and puts the alpha into production exactly as is. you're telling me that GM would not get all butt hurt over it? as competitive as the auto industry is i cant buy into that idea. it seems to me that anything with the olds logo on it as a whole is in some way shape or form copyrighted.

Aurora was not conceived by GM, but by Ford, early 60's Ford Aurora station wagon as example. Hell, GM could sue each division of their own company for copyright infringement. Aurora is not copyrighted as far as I can find.

Neither was copyrighted by GM or Ford. Try again.

maybe copyright is the wrong term. perhaps trade mark and intellectual property fit in somewhere. in any case, my little brain hurts from trying to make sense of this.
andy, remind me to choke you out at ASS for being a PITA. LOL

even if its "copywrited" (or another legal form of it) who said they needs to directly copy it?
drug companies do it all the time (even though their patents only last 7 or 8 years) but you can put a slightly different part, or angle on something and make it different enough to pass as "not theirs"
if that happened, by whomever, that'd be the biggest f-u to GM, EVER.

However the name "Aurora" is trademarked by Hankook tire.
