Smile yellow Cobra

Maybe that's why I liked the yellow.

The first Cobra brochure, 1962 has a black and white photograph of CSX2000 with Carroll's secretary. The Cobra had been buffed out to a high luster with steel wool so it would shine in the sun. Later the car was painted pearlescent yellow for a magazine. Soon it was repainted in a variety of different colors.

I do not like the pearlescent yellow. But I love a bright yellow on a Cobra
