The History of the Cobra
Carroll Shelby is a name and a brand, both of which are foundations of America's car culture. The name Carroll Shelby refers to a proud son of Texas born in that great state in 1923. He is the shuffling, lanky chicken farmer in the striped overalls who proved to be part daredevil, part entrepreneur, and all genius when it comes to the art of moving faster. Shelby's remarkable career as a racecar driver is eclipsed by his even more remarkable influence on American auto design. Look for upcoming stories about the man and the machines.
