Hello all,
I am a newbie to ClubCobra and I 'm wondering for years about a little mistery regarding spinners on original cobras.
I've in my documentation an old french monthly journal called "L'automobile" and dated June 1966.
On the cover is the photo of a nice 427 cobra roadster (no side-pipes, and in page 3 there's some b&w pictures showing there's no roll-bar on it), which was described and test-driven by a reporter. (I've no idea of the VIN#, of course...)
Sorry, no way to insert a picture in this post, you can download it on (or see my Gallery) :

You can notice the wheel, which seems from an unusual design to me
. Anybody knows about it ?
And more of all, look at the yellow/gold spinner
. Do anybody know in what metal was this spinner made ? Brass, bronze, gold anodized aluminum, gold painted steel ?
I can't find any information about that gold spinner. Everybody said to me that only steel spinners were on original cobras.
Thanks for your infos (and I apologize for my poor english... I'm french !)
Bob
