Hi Jon and Gang,

There's a direct reference to  Cosby's vehicle in his 1960's
monologue album  "200 MPH."        I last listened to it umpteen
years ago.

The final line of dialogue went like this after Mr. Cosby drove the
monster, emptying his  bladder in the process  :

"Mr. Shelby , Take the keys AND  the car , AND you give it to 
George Wallace ! "

I had forgotten all about that!  Classic!  And the SuperSnake was doing 0-60 
MPH in well under 4 seconds - forty years ago...
