In my never ending quest to learn as much as I can about cobras,
I am curious how the cobra name was first thought of as applied to these cars.
In a couple of books that I have, one states that the name was not yet conceived when CSX2000 was built at the AC cars factory in 1962.
In another book, I read that the UK factory ledger for CSX2000 described the car as an "AC Ace Cobra".

Some of the folks that I have talked to over the past couple of years insist that Caroll Shelby came up with the name.

I know there are very knowledgeable people on this board and hope someone can shed some light in this subject matter.
