::::I'll be there, with my Ford Police Vehicles Shirts and hats that I may take a few spwecial orders for. I've had the old Ford Police Vehicls logo (that looks like a shield) digitized and embroidered on some real nice polo/izod style shirts, some good quality baseball caps and again, some high quality t-shirts. I don't like that cheap garbage that people sell on eBay and elsewhere!:

:::::Mr. Parks, unless you have some sort of written authorization from FoMoCo Specialty Vehicles/Retail Marketing Division, I will have to ask that you refrain from any for profit retail venture containing the likenesses of any past or presently licensed Ford
Motor Company logo, insignia, label or similar recognized
industry trademark.

We take our non-vehicular retail markets as seriously as our rolling stock and have the patents and copyrights to show for it. As hard as we try, we cannot govern the inferior quality of the cottage industry products that are available on the Internet today. When we do learn of it, rest assured we make every effort to ensure that FoMoCo distances itself from unlicensed, unathorized and unofficial product bearing the logo of the corporation. Any shirt/hats or other products that you intend to sell are therefore in violation of copyright law.

Should you choose to contact our legal division, the toll free number is 800-568-3191 (9-5 Pacific)
