The AC Cobra aka the Shelby Cobra an Anglo-American sports car produced during the 1960s that enjoyed a very long production lifespan through its multiple incarnations; it began life as a Tojiero-Bristol, then an AC Ace, followed by the Ace Bristol and finally the Ace Ford. Just as it was ending its production life, Carroll Shelby breathed new life with the iconic 289 Cobra, soon superseded by the legendary 427 Cobra. . . . and because it's my birthday THIS is what I get - S.L.

ReplyDeleteI recently had a BD but I didn't get anything like your gift. However, I have been lucky enough to have ridden on the Sante Fe Super Chief and seen a Shelby Cobra. I also had a girl friend who liked to wear stockings. Now days I just try to get past my BDs and hope I am around for the next one.
Nice link. Left Birthday Wishes at that location,
ReplyDeleteSat in a Lighning at Granite Falls, Minnesota one day several years ago. Got to see Lefty Gardner's(now Red Bull) at Madera in 1988.
Got time on the Santa Fe as a ballast train technician.
Cobras are but a dream nowadays.
Again, have a Splendid Day.
Happy Birthday and many more!
