Dallas E. Winslow bought Brewster & Co. in 1936 and sold it off for parts in 1937. Source: http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/b/brewster/brewster.htm. Most were bought by John S. (J.S.) Inskip who was a New York Rolls-Royce dealer from the Springfield era (1921-1931) through the 1950s. Source: http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/i/inskip/inskip.htm

Brewster windshield

The text says "Even though" Brewster's windshield design wasn't coprighted, it was imitated. I've changed "copyrighted" to "patented" because innovations in parts are subject to patent, not copyright in the U.S., but I think the words "Even though" should be changed to "Because." If the windshield innovation had been patented and was copied, that would deserve an "even though." But since the widnshield design wasn't protected, "because" is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C50:147F:FA35:3134:82A6:7E1E:A741 (talk) 17:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Even though" means "Despite." That is clearly wrong. If something isn't protected by trademark, copyright or patent, you can use it because there is no protection, not "despite" the fact there is no protection. Sterngard (talk) 17:54, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
