Update: Texas high school gets to keep using Ram logo
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Government/Legal , Chrysler , Dodge Remember a couple weeks back when we told you about Chrysler’s improbable legal battle against little Lake Mary High School in Florida? Chrysler’s legal team put the smack down on the school for using the Ram logo as its school insignia, and the law jockeys in Auburn Hills, MI were giving the school until June 15 to remove all instances of the logo at a considerable cost to the school district and neighborhood taxpayers. It appears cooler heads have prevailed at Chrysler, as Allpar is reporting that the school and automaker have made an agreement that allows the school to keep the admittedly perfect-for-a-football-helmet logo, at least until wear and tear requires their replacement. The reported agreement stipulates that the school must declare its partnership with Chrysler on signs stating “Lake Mary: Proud Partner of Chrysler.” We think Chrysler should also sponsor the prom and provide a 300C stretch limousine for every senior.

Ford apparently figured this out with the second-generation Tracer, which was joined with the Escort as part of a comprehensive redesign in the early 1990s. Must have been a step in the right direction – that car managed to make it onto Car & Driver’s 10Best list
