It started out as a simple observation after installing my wiper blades because the ERAs wipers parking on the right side which is appropriate for a right hand drive car such as it originally was - but a picture of what I think is an original car, that I happen to stare at on my computer screen all day at work, shows just the reverse. Now, I've browsed through the Cobra pictorial site for originals and found that some park to the right and some park to the left.

Hell - I even have two scale models of Cobras and one parks right and the other parks left. I guess either is correct and were somehow installed interchangeably over the years. This would have been better posted in the Originality forum but escalated more than I expected. It's become simply a strange piece of Cobra trivia.
Now I'm over it and will resume regularly scheduled programming - I reinstalled my transmission tailhousing after applying serious amounts of Permetex and re-filled it this evening.
