Default A Simple Perspective

Of course AC was a car that existed and had a racing heritage early on. But until Shel came into the picture, the word "Cobra" never existed.

Who put the V8 in it and named it "Cobra" and made it a made it a "Cobra" as the formidable car we know? . . . . It was all Shelby.

Therefore, from my simple point of view, The car as we all know and love it came into being first and only as a "Shelby Cobra". What AC did with the Ford V8 AFTER Shelby created it is a moot point. I think many people are over analyzing this.
