This was a superb event. Lynn Park started out with the history of the Cobra from AC Cars and Shelby and clarified a lot of stuff often discussed in CC. He passed photos of the hybrid Cobra. Not gas and electric but between an AC Ace and the AC Cobra. CS was supposed to be there but had to cancel due to a sudden trip to Las Vegas.
Then he fielded a question and answer/discussion session from a group of about 50 enthusiasts including some top guns from SAAC, Tom McIntyre and Wally Wyss who wrote Cobra book and is now writing a GT40 book. Interesting history of specific cars and their serial numbers as well as Daytona coupes, prototypes, one-offs and missing cars and replicas are all discussed. Also the importance of the Cobra Register and it's significance was discussed as well.
I have video taped the whole event except for a short period when I had to insert a new tape and when at the end my battery was on its last legs. The Petersen Automotive Museum will offer this to those who are interested for the cost of the tape, duplicating and shipping as soon as I can get it transfered. Call Yin Yoon at (323) 964-6356 to reserve your copy or contact her at
