When a heart condition forced Carroll Hall Shelby to end his career as one
of America's premiere sports car drivers in 1960, he merely turned his
talents to the next most likely avenue - manufacturing.
These pages are dedicated to my Grandfather, James Davis McLean who was Vice President and General manager of Shelby American through the "wonder years" and whom I still miss very much.
All the photos you are about to see were part of a press package released by Shelby American's P.R. whiz-kid, Max Muhleman back in the mid 60's. In the case of each photo, I will include the actual words in
this fontwhile my ramblings will appear as normal text.
If you have complaints about how slow the pictures load, you should've seen them before they were reduced. Anyway don't blame me, go out an put a 28.8 under your hood or better yet, ISDN.
OK, now sit back with your favorite cold beverage, cuz here we GO!!
