Dan, the point of having more choices is well taken!
Following you analogy of who is remembered, Brock, Miles and others who worked with Shelby blend into to background of history. Shelby and Ford become prominent figures in the publics mind, and the history books.
Now for those of us who have a clue, of course the debate rages on about the various rolls individuals played in the drama. Did Brock actually "build" it? Hammer out the aluminum skin, weld the frame, etc? Maybe some! Maybe Shelby turned wrenches on the some of the Cobras also?
It's the architect that gets the credit when the smoke has cleared. And no doubt in my mind, Brock was a giant in that regard. Good or bad, he falls under Shelbys shadow. History is a fickle thing. The burden to get it "right" falls on the few, the modern Cobra clan, the keepers of the flame.
