Correct??? It is all relative.

It is more traditional for the 427 Cobra to have two 'white' stripes, no outline from nose to tail. The 289 FIA had a single stripe, of varying colors, across the nose from right to left fender.

But... checking out some popular Cobra books by Rinsey Mills and Dave Friedman you will find many variations between cars/drivers/teams. Some are very cool, some are very ugly...IMO.

ERA's and Unique's site give some dimensions, if you are interested. For more, do a CC search and you will find tons of reading...
