Good call. The name Carroll Shelby should live on...
Like Ford, or Goodyear.
RIP Carroll. A man to be admired.

Go fast mr Shelby http://autos.cpapi.aol.com/dl_image/...sary-cobra.jpg
I wouldn't call him exactly a car designer. He didn't design the AC Ace after all. I would call him a car sorcerer.Quote:

He possessed the brashness and imagination of a consummate promoter.
Bill Neale, an automotive artist who illustrated Shelby’s designs, once recalled for Vanity Fair that when Shelby assembled his first Cobra, he painted it yellow and had it photographed for the cover of Sports Car Graphic. The next day, he showed another magazine what seemed to be an identical car, colored red.
“I said, ‘You have two of them?’ ” Neale recalled. “And he said, ‘Nah, we just painted it so they think we have two.’ ”
A true visionary. RIP.
