The SHELBY AMERICAN
Fall 2016 15
Steve Sloan starts off his email with,
“
Just in case you haven’t already seen
this one...
” Yeah, right: like there’s a
snow cone’s chance in hell that we
know anything about Ali Wong – a
pregnant stand-up comedian. Netflix
is producing this comedy special:
“
She’s fierce, filthy and very pregnant.
And after finally finding her Mr. Per-
fect, she dreams of never having to
work again..
.” We’re not sure where
the “Baby Cobra” comes from but if
you have a propensity to gamble, you
might not want to bet against us
knowing any more about this than we
do right now.
Doug Cresanta reports that you can ride the Cobra’s Curse in any of four
theme parks: SeaWorld in Orlando, Aquatica in Orlando, Busch Gardens in
Tampa Bay or Adventure Island in Tampa Bay. Here’s a challenge: we’ll award
a special prize (worth over $200) to anyone who rides all four Cobra’s Curses
while wearing a Cobra t-shirt and can prove it. A photo will suffice. Should be
fairly easy, no? Two of them are in Orlando and two in Tampa Bay. It’s not like
we’re bouncing you all over the country. You’ll get your prize and your photo
in
The Shelby American,
and you will likely become famous in the bargain. A
hero to small children.
Steve Sloan saw cobras in this comic
strip. These things just seem to pop up
out of nowhere for some people.
We have been expecting to see an onslaught of Ford GT/LeMans posters, books
and assorted trivia and collectibles so these LeMans commemorative posters
come as no surprise. Howard Pardee spotted them. They are from Unique &
Limited Gallery in the Czech Republic. Size is approx. 20˝ x 28˝ and the price
is $45 each or $135 for the set of four. Not many collectors will have these in
their collection. unique-limited.com/shop/ford-gt40/posters/
