Hi fellas,
The email worked. Wallace Wyss got back to me and I just emailed him what I'm looking for. Jack, PM sent. Thanks to all. I think we'll find this one, and of course, I'll share. |
Update.

Kayakjack shared these photos with me. They are copies ohf his original pieces and he has graciously permitted me to share them here.
I was able to communicate with Wallace Wyss through email. He suggested the Shelby Museum. I feel like a dummy. It must be there. I'm going to Vegas this week so will check there. Notice the female model is wearing white gloves and a tiara! |
Oops.

Chrome spokes and whitewalls.
:)Wow LMH! That's not it but damned close. Looks like the same car. It was probably shot the same day. He has the right look but I seem to remember a sport coat.
I really Looove this shot though. Thanks a million. |
Ya know, I've got to give serious consideration to painted spokes. This is the look though.
I'll go very dark blue. |
I don't have the photo but recognize the neighborhood
It is most likely Playa del Rey, which is a small beach community below Venice, very close to LAX (in fact under the flight path). Shelby later owned an apartment house there and possibly one or two private homes. It was 5 minutes drive to the LAX Shelby factory.
Shelby had the first Cobra polished out to a high sheen and even lettering put on the side writ large. There are pictures in several books of him driving his secretary/girlfriend around Willow or maybe Riverside in the car so finished, maybe before it was painted yellow by Dean Jeffries. I wish I had that picture because it shows Shelby before he became the big businessman he became in the next couple of years--he almost looks like a hobbyist proud of what he built in his back yard (or Dean Moon's rented garage). |
