Virtually No Cars Have Fender Flares Like This Anymore
As Andy Rooney used to say on 60 Minutes "have you ever noticed..."
For years now, virtually everything at any price or performance level has wheel openings that look like they were finished off by running them by a horizontal mill, often taking a wide cut. No make, model or price point seems to be immune. They are more ubiquitous than, gag me, black wheels. The flares on the 427 Cobras and C6 GS and Zo6 are magnifique, wunderbar, glorious, to me. I miss them. ______________________________https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BlMaB2aIQAAaYrH.jpg _______http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...y/P3030387.jpg _____________________________________ Yeah, one could argue that these have a milled edge, but it's miniscule in relation to the overall size of the flare. _______https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...7eed7b186d.jpg _____________ |
with respect to the Cobra, the flares were not an original part of the 'AC' , rather added when Shelby and crew built out their monster.

I have a pair of those...

Of course, this guy has a nice set of hips, but I never drove one:scratch2:

Cool !! Looks great! I don't see any 'Corvette orange peel' in that wonderful red. Very nice. :thumbsup: I saved your pic in 2 folders: 'Cobras & Replicas' and, since I like the idea of gold wheels, 'Gold Wheels' :yes: |
