My car has the Cobra emblem and it says COBRA under it but I've seen some that say SHELBY under the Cobra emblem. Is there any rhyme or reason as to which car gets which?

After problems with them getting stolen before delivery it became up to the dealer to install. Some snakes were installed with Cobra others with Shelby and some like in my area were installed with just the snake and no name underneath.

#3052 I believe they installed the grill emblem on both sides of the sail panels. I knew of the car sitting in 1978 and the emblems when I bought the car in 1984 were pitted. Sails drilled for the barrel clips. I have never seen another like it and of course cannot document. pic from 1984.
