The Grille is OK, but the Bertone body is otherwise ugly. I liked the styling of the original fastbacks, and still do 50 years later.

You are right.

My father worked for Ford, so he brought home many different Fords including a Shelby Cobra.

I remember it as being only a 2 seater and the engine was very loud.

But my dad smiled a lot when he drove it.

If he had kept it, it would have made a tidy profit for him.  :biggrin:
