In reference, to the picture, of the Cobra and Shelby, parked next to what, was probably
Shelby's DC-3.
This spot, is located, to the east, of the North American hangers, that Shelby, occupied.
Directly across the 24 runways, you can see Continental Airlines terminal. You can make
out the "Meatballs" on the tails, part of Continental's livery, for their 727's.
Additionally, Directly above the Cobra, you can just make out a TWA 707 taxiing out, for
take-off. TWA's all white livery, is hard to see, but the red arrow from the nose to the tail
is quite visible.
I worked for TWA, at LAX, during this period and I was fortunate, to see, row after row of
Cobras and Shelby's lined up, outside the SA hangers. And occasionally, at night, if the
hanger doors were open, you would get a look, at the GT40's inside.
It was those memories, from back then, that interested me, later, in acquiring, a copy of
the painting, " Shelby LAX " by David Snyder.
