If it had been a show about Le Mans or the GT40, I would agree Ron; but I find that titled as it was, there was a conspicuous omission of the car that truly made Shelby a legend.

Racing enthusiasts, historians and proponents of the 289 Cobra will be satisfied that Shelby's important accomplishments were duly noted, but looking at the real essence of what constitutes a popular folk legend, how can the Cobra - especially the 427 - be justifiably downplayed?
