Alan Turner. The flowing rear of the doors, serve no real purpose, but they sure look great! Cheers, Dennis

You can find on 2001, that the street style door shaped into the bulkier rear flare. A very unique body. I'm guessing this was the inspiration to the cutback style.. to flow around the the happy little flare on future big wheel cars!

Here are some photos of CSX2001 with the infamous Breadvan top after being repatriated to the UK. The close up is from the 1964 Tour De France, with fender flares, but standard doors. I believe the firs FIA came out in 1963. Cheers, Dennis http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...ictureid=20347 http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...ictureid=20346

The old school tires are much larger diameter than today's tire.
The cut back was an attempt at getting larger tires on the cars. 289's ran large diameter to get the width. Tire technology has come along a bit...
