O nome é AC Ace. Hoje em dia há uma empresa inglesa com os direitos dos dois nomes, e que faz os AC Cobra e AC Ace.
"Shelby always kept a pencil and paper on a nightstand next to his bed, in case he had an inspiration during the night. One morning Carroll awakened to find the name "Cobra" written on it. He had always wanted to build his own "sport car" and this would be its name.
Once again, Carroll proved to have a knack for good timing. AC Cars of England had lost their supplier of engines and Ford Motor Company had a brand-new engine with only a Falcon to put it in. Shelby massaged both sides into sending him samples of their product and he married them together. Born was the Cobra. "
