This is a photograph of the original Shelby American Cobra Dragonsnake, chassis CSX2019, taken at Shelby American's Venice, California facility. The car is shown from the front and side, with its hard roof, hood scoop and large Cobra door lettering visible. The oval grille and round headlights define the nose, and the wide rear tire contrasts with the front wheel. Masonry, windows and planting frame the car.
The car began as a publicity car. Shelby converted it in-house into its first factory drag Cobra, and its success helped lead to customer Dragonsnake packages. All images are digitally restored before printing.
The artwork comes from the Ford Motor Company Archives, The Henry Ford Museum, the Carroll Shelby Archives, and collections of photographers and painters from around the world. Reproduction rights are reserved by the respective copyright owners.
