a Dream, yours and mine also....
Shelby stated in 1962 that he woke up one January morning and wrote down the name COBRA on a pad that he had and went back to sleep. Possibly it really happened just like that, he stated so then, and still stands by the story.
There were three other cars that carried the name COBRA before he used it, if you count the "COBRA" engined Crosley, named for the "COpper BRAzing" technique of the engine block components. My grandfather had one I rode in, not that that means a darned thing, just remembered the little emblem for it.
