Actually, it's not. It's an A.C. Cobra as quoted from the chassis manual that came with each car. "The A.C. Cobra is designed and built at the A.C. Factory, England"...

It does say in the second paragraph that "Shelby American Inc. is responsible for the conception of the car, and in America for fitting of the engine and gear box, manufactured by the Ford Motor Company of America."

But it doesn't name the car as "Shelby Cobra".
