Default Hemmings: Article on first Cobras

Quote from Hemmings article:

[Editor’s Note: Bob Walker’s recently released book, “Cobra Pilote: The Ed Hugus Story” chronicles the life of perhaps one of the most unsung personalities of the American sports car scene – a man who imported dozens of makes of sports cars, who raced in Le Mans, and who worked with Carrolls Shelby to assemble some of the first Shelby Cobras. In this excerpt from the book, Walker details how that arrangement came about and how it ultimately fell apart.]

Yes, very interesting read. I often wonder if men like Shelby, Hugus, the Duece, Miles, Brock and Remington ever realized that at that time they were making automotive history now over 50 years later and that their work will live on forever. Makes ya think.........
