"The Story: "In the late fall of 1963 Ken Miles, John Ohlsen and myself were in the process of building the first Daytona Cobra Coupe. Carroll Shelby came down to the shop saying he was leaving in few minutes to meet with a potential sponsor for the team and needed something to show them what the new car was going to look like. But now Shelby needed something to talk about, so I pulled out some blank note paper and quickly drew these two, what are referred to by designers as “napkin sketches”. Shelby grabbed them, raced out the door and I forgot about them. It wasn’t until years later, long after the car had won the World’s Championship, that the sketches resurfaced. They have been reproduced on high cotton fiber, acid-free paper along with their story and my signature in an easy-to-frame size. Peter Brock Designer of the Daytona Cobra Coupe.
