Page 16 of Dave Friedman's book,"Cobra" states that the very first Cobra in the US was painted pearlescent yellow by Dean Jeffries, then it was repainted different colors to make folks think there was more than one. In the same book, is a photo of Allen Grant's Coventry Motors Cobra with a yellow/black color scheme designed by some guy named George Lucas who some might have heard of.....check out the push truck too. Lastly on page 91, is a photo of one of the racers made by Shelby and company for sale (new) in a pale yellow.

In another book, AC Cobra by Rinsey Mills, on page 42/43 is CSX 2128 in black with yellow stripes and in the same book, page 81, page 111 and 115 show **** ( I thnk) in light blue with the front yellow/white stripes.

Yellow definitely has a history with the Cobra.
