RE:"I understood that it was GM not liking the code name Corvette, not Ford not liking the code names TBird and Mustang." I guess anyone can Trademark anything...like Mhz Sells (TM McMannis). On the other hand, a Corvette was a naval ship and the Mustang was a horse long before GM and Ford laid claim to them. In the case of the horse, a couple million years before them. I believe a Thunderbird is some kind of Greek or Egyptian mythological bird so Ford is outdated there by a couple thousand years. Not to mention the Air Force flying thunderbird team and various other aircraft which predate Fords claim to the thunderbird name. So how in the heck could they ever trademark any of this is beyond me. Lawyers I guess... JIm
