Seems like I remember that the Gov. decided that knock-offs
are a safety hazard. The knock-offs on the '65 Mustang were
some of the last of the fake knock-offs allowed. A car with
real or fake knock-offs can turn a corner near pedestrions (sp)
and catch trousers or skirts and destroy humans (!?>!?) or at
least rip their clothes off ?! There was a movie about a famous
dancer in the '30's who got her neck scarf wrapped around the
knock-off on the wheel of a Bugatti and it broke her neck. I
assume that a gov. official saw this movie about 10 years ago
and has finally decided to be decisive and make a law!
(I have a new set of knock-offs hidden in the basement...)
