Smell Like Carroll Shelby

[cosworth151]

I remember this stuff from Cobra parts adverts in Car Life and Road & Track when I was a kid. Carroll Shelby's Pit Stop Deodorant. 

They were the same ads that had Cobra T-shirts and Cobra Dress-Up Kits. The dress-up kits were a pair of Cobra valve covers, a chrome air cleaner & a chrome dip stick, all for a small block Ford V8.

Seems strange 'The Real Mans Deodorant' from a guy with a girls name. 
Shelby's name always brings the 'boy called Sue' song by Johnny Cash to mind. 

Oh, and you can get away with dressing up like anything when your a kid, they'll be round in the white coats in double time Cos if you try it now.

It sure made the little 2 barrel, 200 horse 289 in my Galaxie 500 look far cooler than it deserved to.
