COBRA?

[tesgt350]

Is this a Cobra on this Hauler?  If so, what does anyone know about it?

[SunDude]

judging by this enlarged version of the photo, I'd say yes:

Found a couple more from the same photographer, who may have snapped these during the Ford Custom Car Caravan.

Is the Cobra CSX2048...?

CSX 2048 I believe, tough to see on my phone this early am

Is that an emblem/logo suspended in the grille on a cross-bar?

Is that an emblem/logo suspended in the grille on a cross-bar?

I noticed that also.  My first thought was a glove of the person who loaded the cars.  But no....

Is that an emblem/logo suspended in the grille on a cross-bar?

it appears to be the only custom item on this Cobra (for taking part in Ford's Custom Car Caravan)

CSX 2048 did join the Ford Custom Caravan and was red/black with the features this car has, so - I agree it's likely that car.

A little better picture labeled as taken at the Oakland Roadster Show


Interesting car with a mix of features that make it impossible for me to deduce which chassis it might be. Some features no doubt added after first completion.
• Appears to a light blue body color, other than special orders, colors added around CSX2104 I think.
• It is wearing a S1CS-C mascot emblem we think was introduced around CSX2133.
• The grille nacelle area has had all the normally visible wiring moved somewhere and the cavity seems to have been nicely painted all one color.
• Odd custom replacement ornamental nacelle trim replaces the stock grille.
• Rear view mirror style used only very briefly early on.
• Bishop cam and peg steering chassis.

Anybody have a list of participants in the 1964 Oakland Roadster Show?

Very cool pic of Ak Miller (center in dark blazer).

As I recall the Ford Custom Caravan of Cars started off early 60s w customs, but by 1964 was centered more around Ak And the Total Performance theme.
On that rig w the Cobra are:
-a Jeffries custom Falcon;
-a Winfield Econoline;
-an Alexander Bros Galaxie custom; and
-an awesome R code 64 Galaxie (note L/W grille).

Cool.

Have never seen the Alexander Brothers custom Galaxie before. Some interesting design features.

[propayne]

I love their work.

I wonder if that Galaxie still exists?
