    Too tall to get into those, so never my style. Never the less they are great looking cars.

    Twenty years or so ago a very good friend of mine was doing a job at Ford's Cleveland Engine Plant for one of their vendors.

    It was a "focused" plant. If you drove up in a Ford you were directed to a parking area near the visitor's entrance to the plant. If you were an unlucky sod driving a non-Ford product you were directed to the visitor lot on the other side of the road---a long hike away My friend was lucky to be driving a Super Duty

    Anyway----one day they had a Cobra at the plant----and the employees were taking it for a spin around the parking lot

    My friend was trying to figure out how he could pass for an employee

    That car remains as cool looking today as it did when it came out in the 50's as an AC Bristol
