CSX2000 making its public debut at the 1962 New York Auto Show

Like my father, I have just two emotions: Rage and Supressed Rage.

I was there. Didn't know what it was?

Look at the Weber cross ram manifold on the stand to the side of the Cobra! DCOE's?

one month driving to Chicago and New York for the Worlds Fair, and back to Florida, those were the days  8)

^^^^ Because we've discussed temporary license tags before:   

That's exactly the correct "paper plate" temporary that you got from a dealer when you bought a car in CA, until your metal plates arrived.

Both new and used cars (purchased from a dealer) got the paper temporaries. 

CA continued that style until around 1975 when they changed to just the "passenger-side lower windshield" location for a square paper temporary registration.

The problem with the tape-them-to-the-bumper paper plates was any sort of rain, car wash, fast speeds. etc.. quickly tore them apart.   

Probably didn't last long on Bartell's Cobra.

The info with this photo said "Bill Fisher, Cobra, All Ford Meet, 1974 Willow Springs"  is this possibly CSX2089 ? ?  in my 4th. edition

 of the registry, the date '74 doesn't match any information. Should the caption with the photo maybe read '84 ?

The car pictured in the foreground is definitely not CSX 2089, as it has not been modified with the cutback doors and FIA flares. Since the shot was taken at Willow Springs, that is likely a CA car that we have not yet identified. But not Bill Fischer's.

Cobra Ned, thanks for your reply, here's where I found that photo, I just assumed it was Fisher's car because of the name of the

 OP, hope the link works. We will await your research, you seem to always come up with the info !

Different guy. Fisher vs. Fischer. He simply took the photo; doesn't recall whose car it was.
