    I know we've discussed Ford going after businesses and clubs that use the Ford name, but I saw something today that shows they are adamant about controlling their trademark. I went to a couple of obsolete parts web sites that I frequented for Galaxie parts a few years ago and wound up with this (copy and paste the link)
    Code:
    http://www.fomoco.com
    Looking at the available PDF file, a few dealers and parts makers have signed on and paying the licensing fees. Maverick is not listed in the PDF. How soon before find out about "new" parts?

    I figured Joe was doing it right. I was just slightly surprised that the URL address was the same for those old sites but was coming up with the one from Ford.:16suspect
