Been comparing some Marchon & TYCO Porsche' Whale-tail cars.Some of the Marchon's were ripoffs of TYCO with just enough changed to evade copyright infringement.It is interesting how the rear side vents were filled & the front bumper was modified plus retractable head lights added on the front fenders but it is obvious that it was copied from TYCO.I wonder if there was any recourse that TYCO could have taken.It is academic now as Marchon has joined that gallery of "Fallen Flags" of the HO world & its successor,"Empire" struck out not long afterward. A lot of the chassis technology was copied since many TYCO & MR-1 chassis parts interchange with slight modification(guide pins,p/u shoes on some models,gears & motors,etc.)
