We accepted the invitation and made the trip knowing that we would not be in a judged class, but a class for exhibition only. We were told that this was the first time that a 4000 series Shelby Cobra had appeared at an event of this magnitude and prestige. The officials parked us right next to Paul Andrews fine collection of Shelby Cobras. Obviously, he won the Domestic Post-War class because he was the only entrant. He deserved it, too! My point is even though the 4000 series Cobras are starting to be recognized at shows like this, they still will NEVER be able to compete with the 2000 and 3000 series cars. Neither will the 7000 and 8000 series cars either.

That's real dedication, tow across the entire country for a car show. I wonder why they didn't invite Evan?
