The Best Friend Carroll Shelby Ever Had
by Colin Comer, Sports Car Market magazine
Here's an article that I stumbled upon that you'll find interesting and enlightening. It's about the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC) and how instrumental it's been over the past 30 years in keeping alive and expanding motorcar enthusiasts' awareness and appreciation of the fabulous Shelby metal of the 1960s. It's a fitting tribute that's long overdue. Curt Scott
