Shelby AC Cobra – 1964

One would understand just by looking at the 1964 Shelby AC Cobra why it’s considered as one of the most beautiful cars ever made. A bold front grille and chrome finish on the glossy deep black paint simply make this masterpiece’s exterior near-flawless. Oversized tires add strength to the vehicle body while also complementing the rest of the assembled design.

The story of the Cobra started with a letter sent in September 1961, when racer, designer, and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby wrote to ‘AC Cars’ asking if they would be willing to create an AC Ace with an American V8 engine for him. So, they did, and the rest, as they say, is history.
