This is the car Elvis drove in the classic 'Spinout' movie. This car is a classic in itself and is a true race car in every sense. Designed by Carol Shelby, this 'competition' version Cobra was a perfect fit for Elvis' good looks and need for speed. Playing a race car driver again, Elvis Presley stars as dashing Mike McCoy in Spinout. Mike fronts a popular singing group, and he is also the defending champion on the racing circuit.
Fast cars are not nearly as dangerous for Mike as beautiful women, all of whom want to race him down the aisle to marriage. Les, played by perky Deborah Walley, works as the drummer in Mike's band, and she is extremely jealous of his attention toward other women. Also vying for Mike's affection is sophisticated Cynthia Foxhugh, played by Shelley Fabares, who is the daughter of wealthy auto magnate Howard Foxhugh. Finally, representing the intellectual type is writer Diana St. Clair, played by Diane McBain, who falls in love with Mike while finishing her book 'The Perfect American Male'. This film began with the working title of 'Never Say Yes'. In January 1966 producer Joe Pasternak asked Elvis' manager Colonel Tom Parker if he had any suggestions for a better title. Parker came up with 'Jim Dandy' and 'Clambake'. Other titles considered were 'Never Say No', 'Never Say Yes' and 'After Midnight'. In Britain it was finally released as 'California Holiday', while in the U.S. they ended up using 'Spinout' and saving 'Clambake' to use for a later film.
