Reply to "De Tomaso Dealer Sign - Reproduction"

I'm a bit late to this discussion. I do have some experience with the infringement subject.
In the 1980's my family reproduced a set of tootsietoys of the twenties and thirties, among other things. They were made of lead, with very limited production, so they weren't kids toys. We sold them as collectables through several vendors, including the Smithsonian Institute gift store.
We found out quickly that it was worth getting the release/license to use copyrighted/trademarked logos and images.
Incidently we did an AC Cobra too. 1/24 scale in lead. It was commissioned by a club who supplied a hand made plastic model for us to use as a pattern. I've only got one left. weighs about three pounds. We cast the body in one piece in a centrifugal casting machine in a vulcanized rubber mold.
That being said I'd certainly like to buy one of your signs for my garage too (which used to be the the shop where we made the castings).
