Good grief! What an old chestnut and here i am rising to the bait.
All 289 Cobras were AC Cobras.
Per SA, AC, FIA, FORD, data plates, shipping documents, brochures, pamphlets, instruction manuals, parts manuals, registrations, certifications, insurance policies (OK, a few of these said FORD Cobra, which everyone will agree is really wacko), etc., IN THE DAY.
Nearly all 427/8, 390, and later Cobras were Shelby Cobras (or even Shelby American Cobras.)
Why is this so difficult to grasp or remember? (Why am i writing this again?)
It has nothing to do with national pride for what our American Shelby did, then or now.
It has only to do with the name of the cars at the time. The truth is not misleading. Get nuanced! (Don't you love it?)
Please, let revisionist history remain the provence of our democratic brothers as they try and explain away Kerry's responsibility for taring all our returning VN veterans with evilness and disrepute in order to end the war. Let them explain how Kerry's 120 days of questionable duty in VN makes up for the thousands of vets that suffered as much in coming home to the USA as they suffered fighting with honor in VN.
