Research reviewed 2026-10-29 for this exact March 1964 Vol. 2 No. 3 issue. All 8 original pages were inspected; no copyright notice or separately credited protected contribution was found. Ford Division, Dearborn, Michigan masthead and public service-station/garage distribution support U.S. general publication. The assessment relies on pre-1978 publication-without-notice rules (37 CFR 202.2), NOT nonrenewal: 1964 copyrights, if secured, receive automatic renewal. A later June 1964 issue expressly carries copyright and is excluded; no series-wide clearance is claimed. No deposit copy or every physical copy was inspected, so accidental omission or a documented noticed edition would require reassessment. This is a research-supported U.S. conclusion, not Ford permission, legal certification or worldwide clearance.
