I over heard one person talking about the origination of the Cobra name, which he had discovered during an extensive fact finding mission.
He said that Shelby used to race Crosleys, including the one that had the COpper-BRAss, engine in his early days. There was, alegedly, even a logo that mimicked the current one with the standing snake and the word COBRA across the lower portion.
He believes that the "dream" was, more or less, a staged event and that Shelby took the logo, and the name, without giving proper credit to the originator.
I hope I didn't misunderstand anything I might have heard.
