Daddy bought me a Cobra!

here's a few pictures of Carol Connors standing next to my Cobra at the Petersen Museum in January of 2018

Here is a pic I scanned from my fantastic book; "Rockin' Down the Highway" by Paul Grushkin.

"Hey Little Cobra" went to #4 on Billboard's pop singles chart. Carol's brother Marshall is listed as co-writer. Carol was interviewed for the book and goes on to say - "My brother really wasn't much involved, but I wrote it because Carroll asked me to write it. I'd smashed my ex-boyfriend's car in the front - it was a Bristol - and he wanted to see if they could put a Cobra front on a Bristol back. Carroll told me, "If you write a song about my car and it goes to the Top Ten we'll work something out - you'll go to Le Mans," which I did. Then I got a Cobra from Carroll. Actually, I had three of them. Each would be worth half a million dollars today, but I don't own them any more."

Anyone know for sure why she changed her name to Carol?   To sound the same as Carroll?

I still can't imagine CS giving her a Cobra. Maybe the use of one for a month or so...or more like a three day "lost weekend" with the man himself?

 Sounds like a little UNDER COVER work was going on back in the day...
