The Shelby American (Summer 2022)

The SHELBY AMERICAN Summer 2022 31 Colleen Kopec was getting her nails done when she zoomed in on this picture of Rod Stewart, taken in England in 1995, with his AC Cobra MK IV. At that time, according to People magazine, he had a collec- tion of several vintage Lamborghi- nis to go along with the Cobra. We’re not sure if these cobra cowboy boots will fit in a Cobra footbox, but imagine the effect they would have when you stepped out of the car wearing them at a convention. Spot- ted in the Internet by Vicki Thomas. Spotted on the Internet by Colleen Kopec. The Cobra Lily is a voracious in- spectioneer that is native to regions of Southern Oregon/Northern Cali- fornia. If that sounds like part of a botany lecture it wasn’t meant to. Our thanks for the information to eagle-eye Melinda Foster who knows her lilies. Jami Young found this cobra necklace in the Spring Clearance Sale catalog from Ross-Simmons jewelry. That’s al- most a 50% discount. At that price you can’t afford not to buy one. “ I thought the King of the Road was a 1968 GT500? ” questioned Cindy Samuels. “ It is ,” we responded, “ but in today’s world where accuracy doesn’t carry much weight, anybody can get away with just about anything and still be rewarded .” But not by us, who put a premium on preciseness. Jami Young was dragged, not quite kicking and screaming, to a flea market by husband Ken. She used the time to contemplate what the payback would be. She spotted this t-shirt design along the way. Doreen Ballard and her husband Mark were driving near Hattiesburg, Mis- sissippi and spotted Camp Shelby. It just might be the perfect place for a Shelby meet, except there aren’t many Shelbys in southern Mississippi.
