Original cobra in Oz

ptrefry · #1 (**permalink**) 02-13-2008, 03:32 PM

Does anyone know of the original cobra that was used in a Ad in unique car mag a few months ago ?
The Ad was for a car restorer and the shot of the car was in a spray booth ready for paint.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm actually after the name of the car restorer, I think they are in QLD.
Thanks

I expect that will be the 427 street Cobra we have here - CSX3150.

Sleeping Beauties restored it.

Wolf at Sleeping Beauties has a set of images of the car at various stages of restoration that he was going to share with me, but as yet....

Nice photos there BadSnake427, they look very familiar.

I would be careful publishing other peoples photos without asking permission or at least acknowledging the owner.

These photos were also taken on private property.

I'm happy for you to use the photos. And if you PM me your email address , I
ll email you some better quality ones. I've also got a couple of other cobras that you might be interested in.

I think it would be nice to acknowledge & thank the owner/hosts though. So if you wouldn't mind adding some text like the following to the page.

"Thanks to Bowden & Sherrard families for their gratious hospitality and allowing us to capture these great photos of their vehicles."

By the way, fantastic site.

Do you mind people linking to it?

Well said Craig - a minefield indeed.

I see such issues from the Photographers viewpoint too as Jackie is moving into this area having her work published in the UK only to find it reappears elsewhere without her being informed.

As an aside, I understood that the 427 was not Bowden's i.e. added to the collection for that very special day.

Pete, yes, you are correct. I've been very wary of it as well, especially lately.

The "Bowden & Sherrard families" cover it. That covers who allowed us in to see the cars and who owns the cars.

I have spoken to David Bowden about using the photos previously and we had agreed on that type of acknowledgement.
