It's official!
We have received the legal documents dismissing ALL charges filed against Layson's Restorations as a result of the raid and arrests we had to endure at Carlisle in 2008.
This is Dave Layson's press release.....
Layson’s Restorations Exonerated
Charges dropped with prejudice in Pennsylvania
(Lakewood-WA) Layson’s Restorations is pleased to announce the end of a patent and trademark investigation in the state of Pennsylvania. This follows the FBI’s move to drop its case last fall. It is the end of a lengthy legal battle that began at the Chryslers at Carlisle event in July of 2008.
Layson’s can again focus entirely on doing what it does best: Serving our customers and helping them bring their Mopar dreams to life. We would like to express our deepest appreciation to our customers, vendors, business partners and even competitors who encouraged us and provided the moral support to see us through this difficult time.
We want to extend a special thanks to Robert Wolff of Mopar Collectors Guide and Phil Painter – both of whom made the effort to see through the issues and into the truth of the matter. We will always be grateful.
Going forward, we hope these developments when combined with a turnaround in the economy will allow us to recall some of the loyal employees we were forced to lay off and continue our quest to make more parts and improve our processes to better serve our customers who, along with our love of classic cars, motivate us to be the best we can be every day.
Now that we can again turn our attention to the hobby we love, look for an improved website, more product releases and our continued support of our loyal customer base at the major Mopar shows around the country.
In the end, we hope that the legal issues surrounding the manufacture and sale of legal reproduction parts have been resolved once and for all – for the good of the hobby, and those of us investing and working to restore valuable pieces of American automotive history.
We will have a video statement up on our www.youtube.com/gimeaV8 site in the near future, but until then, we’re just thankful this chapter in our company’s history is over and that our customers will continue to have access to high quality and affordable reproduction parts for their restoration projects.
