I have seen 4 of these in person. The most memorable was when on vacation in Hollywood ca. Pulled up next to me at a stoplight. Pure sex. The sound of a Cobra as sexy as a P-51. The p-51 wins that though.

Nice thread idea!

At this moment, I am in a classic 50's mood.  The 1957 Chevy Bel Air gets most of the attention.  I was always partial to the '56.
