Default Was Arntz the first Cobra replicar maker
Or merely the first successful one?
Or maybe the first who made the mass market ones with fiberglass bodies>>
(I qualify because Autokraft in the UK might have been making aluminum bodied ones at the time Arntz was making his, I can't remember the timeline. It seems like I first heard of Arntz around 1972?
What happened? Did he sell his business? Was there really a fatal accident that soured him on the biz?
